Dauphin Co-op Surprises Local Food Bank with Shopping Spree
ActionsWe are so pleased to mark an incredible 85 years of serving our community with a heartfelt gesture of giving back. In celebration of this milestone, Co-op was very happy to host a shopping spree for the local Food Bank to help provide vital support to those in need.
We want to close out this incredible year of celebrating 85 years with something reflective of our commitment to the community.
As we celebrate our history of service and success, it's important to remember that giving back to the people that helped us get here is what truly makes our community stronger.
"This shopping spree is a way for us to say thank you and give back to an organization that has made such a positive impact.
Our goal is to help stock the shelves of the food bank, ensuring that families and individuals in need have access to the food and resources they require. It's a wonderful way to give back, especially as we head into the holiday season when donations and support are so important." — Joan Chetyrbok, Marketing / Community Relations Manager.
Robin Gambler, Dauphin & District Food Bank, thought she was coming to the store to have a photo taken with a donation from Co-op — the next thing she knew she was pushing a shopping cart while employees quickly filled it with groceries — over $850 in groceries! "Co-op you are amazing. That was so much fun and on behalf of the Dauphin & District Food Bank we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - Robin Gambler, Dauphin & District Food Bank.
Co-op has been a trusted community partner for 85 years and we continue to prioritize our deep-rooted values of community, service and sustainability.
We are proud to be a part of our communities and look forward to continuing our legacy of support, compassion and partnership.
