As loyal Co-op shoppers, you know that buying LOCAL is one of the best ways you can support our community.
Known as the Local Multiplier Effect, 67% of every dollar spent locally stays local, creating a cycle of positive economic growth which helps build a more sustainable future for all. Buying LOCAL is an investment in our future.
Choosing to buy local products is always a winning choice, and this September, choosing local could make YOU a winner, too! Here’s how it works:
- Choose LOCAL products to buy when you shop, and check the bottom of your receipt to see how much LOCAL you purchased in one trip.
- Purchase $25 or more LOCAL products in one shopping trip to enter a raffle for one of six $50 Co-op Gift Cards.
- Purchase $50 or more LOCAL products in one shopping trip to enter a raffle for one of six $100 Co-op Gift Cards.
- Enter as many receipts as you’d like!
- To enter your qualifying receipt (with $25 or more in local purchases), simply drop it in the raffle box by the exit on your way out. It’s that easy!
The more LOCAL you purchase, the greater your chances of winning (and the more you’re eligible to win!) At the end of the month, we’ll select six receipts with $25 or more LOCAL to win a $50 gift card, and six receipts with $50 or more LOCAL to win a $100 gift card. Want to be sure you’re buying LOCAL? Just look for products with these signs:
Last year’s Eat Local Challenge resulted in over $600,000 being paid to our LOCAL farmers and producers in September alone! Help us shatter last year’s record by purchasing Vermont products all month long. Track our collective progress on the Big Corn outside the front door!
Happy LOCAL eating!
