As a Co-op shopper, you already know: buying local is one of the most powerful ways to support our community.
It’s called the Local Multiplier Effect—67% of every dollar spent locally stays here, creating a cycle of economic growth that strengthens farms, families, and our future. Every local purchase is an investment in the community we share.
And this September, buying local could make you a winner, too!
Here’s how:
-
Check your receipt to see how much local you bought in a single trip.
-
Spend $25 or more on local items = enter to win one of six $50 Co-op gift cards.
-
Spend $50 or more = enter to win one of six $100 gift cards.
-
Drop your qualifying receipt into the raffle box on your way out. Enter as often as you’d like!
The more local you buy, the greater your chances of winning—and the bigger the impact you make on Vermont producers. Just look for the “local” signs throughout the store to fill your basket with community-grown goodness.

We’ve set this year’s goal at $550,000 in local purchases. Think we can beat it? Watch the Big Corn outside the front door to find out!

Happy LOCAL eating!
