Create Positive Change

Each time you shop at the co-op, you have a chance to directly support local nonprofits by donating your 10-cent reusable bag credits and rounding up your purchases to the nearest dollar. It may only be a few cents or spare change, but your generosity makes a huge impact — to the tune of over $10,000 each month for our Positive Change recipients!

Dive Deeper Into Their Work 

Open Arms of Minnesota is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing medically tailored meals to Minnesotans with life-threatening illnesses who may struggle to shop or cook on their own. Many of these individuals face serious health challenges and lack the support network to assist with their daily needs, including access to nutritious food. 

To meet this need, Open Arms prepares and delivers meals at no cost to clients and their loved ones. With registered dietitians and professional chefs on staff, the organization designs menus tailored to specific medical requirements, prioritizing fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. Supported by a network of donors and volunteers, Open Arms grows, prepares, and delivers wholesome, made-from-scratch meals directly to the homes of those they serve. 

Funds will be used to Donations will support and expand the Table Series program, making it more accessible so that more people can experience legacy cooking and participate in shared community and food stories.
