First Alternative Community Events & Programs
First Alternative Co-op is a community-based, socially and environmentally aware business. The Co-op works for the development of the community through environmental incentive programs, monetary donations to organizations chosen by Co-op members, and by offering services and opportunities to the community at large.

Co-op Community Activities
The goal of Co-op Community activities are to offer opportunities to connect Co-op Owners with each other, with staff and with the Board of Directors in social and community service based activities. These activities are scheduled quarterly and may include field trips to farms or local businesses, community service activities, potluck picnics, nature walks, etc. Want to learn more about the Co-op Community?

Co-op Meeting Rooms
First Alternative has a meeting room at each of our two store locations, available for community reservation to hold classes, give public lectures, or convene meetings. Need space for your community-oriented activity? Contact our Outreach Specialist at (541) 753-3115 x7101 or donnax@firstalt.coop
School Donations
First Alternative donates money to local schools every year. Co-op owners may tie their owner number to a particular local school so their purchases are registered in support of that school. The greater the amount tallied for each school, the more donation funds it receives.
