The Pennies for Change program is one of the Co-op’s many giving programs. Customers can donate their change to our community partners by rounding at the registers to the next full dollar amount. Of the funds collected each month, 80 percent goes to our food access partners: Friends of Mascoma, LISTEN Community Services, Upper Valley Haven, and Willing Hands. The remaining 20 percent is given to our community partner. This partner changes on a monthly basis. Want to become a community partner?
