A Cooperative Gift Giving Guide
Many of the co-ops in our region have reduced capacity for customers to shop for the holiday season. Keep your money local and in the cooperative community. Purchasing gifts through one of these co-ops is not just a gift for your family member or friend, it is also a gift for the cooperative. We hope that you have a wonderful and safe holiday, however you choose to celebrate!
