Employee Volunteer Program Makes Local Impact 2025

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 not-for-profit organization of their choice.

In 2025, the following employees had $500 donations made to the charity of their choice: 

Courtney Seitter, Grocery department, believes no-one should go hungry. "I chose this organization because it serves more than 200 hot meals to schools twice a week so no child goes hungry." The Coldest Night of the Year in Dauphin benefits The Dauphin Friendship Centre's Food for Thought Program. A total of $1,750 was raised including the $500 donation.

Courtney Seitter, Grocery department, volunteers for a variety of Co-op events as well as in the community. She has chose the Parkland Humane Society Inc. to make a donation for the Q1 draw. " I chose this organization because they do so much for animal welfare."
