About the program
One of the ways we contribute to our community is by organizing our Common Cents program. Common Cents allows Belfast Community Co-op shoppers to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. That extra change is donated directly to a highlighted community non-profit whose work supports local resilience. Contributing to Common Cents helps us meet our commitments to you, our community, while fostering positive growth in our area and region.
