Seventh Cooperative Principle: Concern for Community
While focusing on members needs, cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies accepted by their members.
At the East Lansing Food Co-op, we try and support our neighbors in need. At our store, we have cups of coffee available to our customers for a contribution to a donation basket supporting a local charity.
This month's charity:
PET SUPPORT SERVICES
Pet Support Services helps senior citizens and people with special needs to keep and care for their companion and service animals.
