Calgary Co-op W i n s Ag a i n
Calgary Co-op was proud to once again partner with Calgary Transit, XL103 FM and the Calgary Food Bank in November for our 18th annual Stuff a Bus campaign. We kicked off the week with a special visit from Mayor Nenshi (pictured here with Norm Bennie of our Beddington Centre). Thanks to your support, we managed to raise almost $150,000 in cash and food donations for the Calgary Food Bank!
Calgary Co-op is pleased to announce the recipients for this year’s Bags to Riches Program. For every bag you re-use in one of our stores, you will receive 3 cents off your grocery purchase or you can choose to donate the money to our designated charity. This year’s recipients include the Calgary Humane Society, STARS, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Airdrie Humane Society, Airdrie Food Bank and Wheatland County Food Bank.
“When I locked my keys/purse/cell phone etc. in my car at Airdrie Co-op a few weeks ago, Alice and other Co-op staff were beyond kind – she even lent me money to go over and get a coffee. I was stuck there for 3 hours and they let me e-mail my husband and then took a phone message from him to let me know he was on his way. I have been there a few times just to get groceries – and if there is an award for best, most helpful and friendly staff it should go to the folks at Airdrie Co-op.” Susan S.
