Care for community is at the heart of our cooperative principles, and we believe we are made stronger by the diversity of cultures and backgrounds represented here.
As we reflect on how best to support our community in this moment, we're lifting up the work of El Centro Inc. On Thursday, February 19, we’re donating 3% of our store sales to El Centro, a co-op partner and our neighbor in KCK. El Centro strengthens communities and improves the lives of Latinos through education, service, advocacy, and opportunity.
From El Centro: “With the political rhetoric targeting our community on an almost daily basis, we must not give in to fear and anxiety, but instead assist our community by empowering them with knowledge to help keep themselves and their families safe.”
We believe food brings people together — and that supporting our neighbors matters. Learn more about their work and, if you’re able, you can give directly on their website: https://www.elcentroinc.com/ When you shop the co-op on February 19 for your usual grocery trip, you’re also helping uplift El Centro and the vital work they do.
