Carts for Corvallis is one of the Co-op’s donation programs that helps non-profit organizations in our community attain their goal of improving everyday life for many Corvallis residents. As with the Beans for Bags program, Co-op owners vote for 12 organizations to receive funds for a year in the October issue of the Co-op Thymes newspaper.
The recipients occupy the top space of our Beans for Bags tower (pictured at left) by the doors of our stores for one month. To help these organizations raise some funds, bring in your reusable bags each time you shop; the more bags you bring, the more beans you will receive, and the more we will donate to your organization of choice.
Recipients for 2011:
January- PEP
February- Willamette Ballet
March- Children’s Center
April- Boys & Girls’ Club
May- Homeless Education Project
June- Planting Seeds
July- We Care
August- Senior Dog Rescue
September- Hour Exchange
