Employee Volunteer Program Makes an Impact - 2026

Dauphin Co-op is a strong supporter of our communities. We value the time our Team Members devote to volunteering in the community and offer the Employee Volunteer Program where an employee may request that Dauphin Co-op matches the first $500 in pledges collected for a fundraising event or have a donation made on their behalf.

Every quarter, Team Members who volunteer are entered into a draw and one is chosen to donate $500 to a local charity or non-profit organization of their choice.

In 2026, the following employees had $500 donations made to the charity of their choice:

Nik Hopfner, Ste Rose Home Centre, is the Captain of the U17 AAA Parkland Rangers and collected pledges for Hockey Fights Cancer. He chose Cancercare MB because of all the work they do for people with cancer in Manitoba. This donation will be going to Camp Quality Manitoba for programs for children with cancer and blood disorders in our province. We were very happy to match the first $500 in pledges collected.

Courtney Seitter, Grocery department, said "I enjoy walking and collecting pledges each year for Coldest Night of the Year. The money goes to the Dauphin Friendship Centre's Food for Thought program which ensures that no child goes hungry." We are very happy to support CNOY and match the first $500 collected for this cause.
