Common Cents 2026 Recipients

Introducing Our 2026 Common Cents Recipients

We are blown away by the number of nominations and votes we received this year! It’s been our best year yet, and we’re so excited to support these well-deserving organizations in the year ahead.

Through the Common Cents program, we support local nonprofits and give back to our community with every grocery trip to the Co-op. Common Cents invites Co-op shoppers to round up the total of their purchases to the nearest dollar, donating the extra change to support a community organization whose work contributes to local resilience, sustainability, and access to affordable, healthy food.
