The Belfast Co-op’s Common Cents group for December is the Friends of Belfast Parks! Every shopper may ’round-up’ their purchases at the Co-op to donate to our monthly recipient.
MISSION:
The Friends of Belfast Parks is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization working to actively support the preservation & continued development of Belfast’s parks and greenways for the benefit of all our citizens
