Rising Tide’s November Co-op for Community Days partner was Jefferson Area Community Food Pantry.
Every Wednesday, Rising Tide donates 0.5% of sales to an organization nominated and voted on by their 5,000-plus owners. Thanks to this partnership, Rising Tide Co-op contributed $674 to the food pantry.
Rising Tide views this program as a way to both provide financial and in-kind support to community organizations. In addition to a monetary contribution, Rising Tide helps Co-op for Community Days partners share information about their organizations throughout the month through digital marketing, in-store communications, and meet-and-greets held each Wednesday.
The work done at this 100% volunteer-run food pantry helps meet critical needs for people throughout the Jefferson area. Their doors, located at 72 Gardiner Road, are open at every second and fourth Wednesday from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
For more information or to volunteer or donate, find the pantry’s Facebook page or call 315-1134.
Rising Tide Co-op is a cooperatively owned grocery serving southern Midcoast Maine since 1978 and is open and welcome to anyone who wants to shop, regardless of whether they are a co-op owner or not.
