Co-op News, Spring 2010

On Saturday, March 6, Coop employees sculpted the four food-groups portion of the classic Co-op logo using cans, boxes and other gathered food donations from shoppers, vendors and the Co-op.

After a week’s display at the Bayshore Mall, all the food was donated to Food for People.“

Food for People serves approximately 10,000 people each month county wide, 30-40% are children,” according to their website.

Participants included other groceries stores and local businesses.

Thanks to the crew, Gary Pellow, Pauli Gluckman, Carolyn Nelson, Joe Parks, Lisa and Scott Kristic for gathering the donations and creating such a wonderful can-struction! Thank you to Amy’s and Bob’s Red Mill for their donations!
