One of the ways we donate to our community each year is by organizing our Common Cents Program. These donations allow Belfast Community Co-op shoppers to round up the total of their purchases to the nearest dollar, donating their extra change to provide support to a highlighted community organization whose work contributes to local resilience.

Contributing to “Common Cents” helps us meet our commitments to you, our neighbors while fostering positive growth in our community. Let your cashier know if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity each time you shop!  Find out more about the program here.
