Seward Co-op Grocery & Deli’s End's Statement
Seward Co-op will sustain a healthy community that has:
- Equitable economic relationships;
- Positive environmental impacts;
- Inclusive, socially repsonsible practices.
Our Philosophy
At Seward Co-op we strive to promote the health and sustainability of our community through several donation programs, including:
- Natural foods donations to the Groveland Food Shelf.
- Educational information regarding nutritional issues for public schools through the Midwest Food Connection.
- Small financial or in-kind gifts to local groups each month.
- Ten cents each time a customer uses his/her own shopping bag through our Green Bag program.
- Seward Co-op Community Fund- funds grants for projects that fit the co-op’s mission.
Community Donation Program
We offer $10 to $30 gift certificates for use at silent auctions, fundraisers, or other one-time events. We cannot provide food or produce trays.
Our donation preferences are given to non-profits in the communities most commonly served by Seward Co-op (Seward, Prospect Park, Howe, Cooper, Powderhorn Park, Corcoran, Longfellow, and Phillips neighborhoods). Priority is also given to sustainable agriculture and environmental programs.
Our donation program does not support partisan or religious organizations. Recipient organizations are eligible a maximum of twice per year.
