GreenStar’s 2022 Partners for Change
In December, GreenStar announced a new opportunity for members to have a direct say in the Co-op’s impact on our local community through our new giving program – Partners for Change. Nearly forty local nonprofit organizations with a mission and purpose aligning with cooperative values and principles, and GreenStar’s Global Ends Statement applied to be a 2022 Partner for Change.
The ten organizations that received the most votes from GreenStar’s members will receive the following support from the Co-op as part of Partners for Change:
- Bags for Change – Each calendar quarter, GreenStar commits $1,000 to be divided among three Partners for Change. The amount received by each Partner is determined by the number of tokens customers place in the organization’s collection bin in-store. Customers receive tokens by bringing their reusable bags for GreenStar purchases.
- Positive Change – Customers may make a donation in any amount at the register. Each month, one of the three quarterly Partners for Change organizations will be the recipient of 100% of the Positive Change donations.
- Tabling – Each Partner for Change will have the opportunity to table at the Cascadilla St. store in the quarter they are featured. You can learn more about the organization by visiting their table when you shop.
Thank you for voting! We look forward to supporting these organizations in 2022!
Below are the 10 organizations that received the most votes from GreenStar members, organized by the quarter in which they will be featured and the month in which it will receive Positive Change donations:
