The Silver City Food Co-op has a community donation program called the Round Up Program where customers can round up the balance of their total purchase to the nearest dollar and donate that amount to a local non-profit. Gila Mimbres Community Radio was the March recipient receiving $1,751.51.

Each month, the Silver City Food Co-op announces the current non-profit recipient. There is information at each register about the group, and each recipient has brochures about their organization available at the front of the Co-op. The recipient is also available at least once per month in the Co-op to talk to member/owners and customers about their organization. In April the Round Up recipient is Gila Resources Information Project.

The Silver City Food Co-op is proud of our cashiers who make this program work so we can give to our community. Many thanks to the members and customers who generously donate to this program each month. The Silver City Food Co-op follows the seven cooperative principles including Concern for Community and we strive to connect in meaningful ways to our community.
