Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) has launched Co-op Helps, a program to support individuals and communities across Western Canada as they face the challenges of this pandemic. Co-op kicked things off by giving out 1,250 Co-op gifts cards across Western Canada to people who have gone above and beyond to help their friends, neighbours or community during the pandemic.
Through FCL, Co-op is also making a $250,000 donation to food banks in Western Canada. This donation is over and above the annual contributions – nearly 540,000 kilograms (1.2 million pounds) of products in 2019 – FCL makes through our distribution centres. Local co-ops also regularly contribute to their local food banks and offer the Good Buy to Hunger Program for customers.
In the coming months, Co-op will be looking to help rebuild local communities through additional support for charitable and community organizations, including through the Co-op Community Spaces Program, which has funded more than $8.5 million in local community projects over the last six years.
