Program
Explain how the Co-Op works. They look for local suppliers of goods, open book policy with financials for all employees, all-natural food with little to no preservatives. They provide a grant for farmers to produce goods. The round up on your bill helps to provide money to many different non-profit organizations. All non-profits chosen are local and provide food of some sort. They have low employee turnover.

From Frank B. -
Frank, I wanted to follow up and say THANK YOU for the opportunity to present this morning. Shannon and I had a great time and we really appreciated the engaging questions afterwards. We can tell you have a thoughtful and passionate group which is what is needed to drive community impact! You inspired us to check out our own communities' local Rotary chapters.
I wanted to follow up with a few resources from our presentation today since members were requesting more information and we didn't have our business cards on hand. If you are open to it, do you mind sharing the following resources with your members so that they can reach out with their follow ups? A few members that we spoke to afterwards are so well connected in relevant statewide organizations, we would love to connect and get further information!
