Pennies for Change

The Co-op Round-up Program

We were one of the first businesses in our area to have a round-up program, and so far our shoppers have donated nearly $1.5 million to local nonprofits through Pennies for Change. Woo-hoo! If you would like to donate, just round up at the registers to the next full dollar amount. Using self-checkout? Click on “donations” and the system will give you the option to donate $1, $5, or $10.

Of the funds we collect, 80 percent goes to our food access partners—Friends of Mascoma, LISTEN Community Services, Upper Valley Haven, and Willing Hands—and 20 percent goes to a community partner, which changes monthly. Read on to learn more, and if you would like to apply to be a community partner, look for an application form to be posted to this page in August.
