[Vision2020] Co-op grant to Buy Local

[Bill London]

*Moscow Food Co-op Donates $440.60 to Buy Local Moscow*

Buy Local Moscow received $440.60 from the Moscow Food Co-op's "A Dime 
in Time" community donation program.

The Co-op's "A Dime in Time" program was created to support local, 
non-profit organizations. Co-op shoppers currently receive a 10-cent 
discount when they use their own bags or coffee cups. Co-op customers 
now have the option to donate those dimes to the organization selected 
as that month's recipient.

In April shoppers donated 4,406 dimes to the Buy Local Moscow, a 
non-profit that works to build a sustainable Moscow economy by 
supporting and promoting locally-owned businesses in our community. Buy 
Local Moscow currently has 86 members, all locally-owned, independent 
businesses.

Future recipients include Rendezvous in Moscow Kids Art Program in May.

Local groups interested in being selected to receive future awards can 
submit a grant application found on the Co-op's website 
(_www.moscowfood.coop <http://www.moscowfood.coop/>_). A committee made 
up of two Co-op board members, two Co-op staff members, and two Co-op 
customer members will review the applications and select recipients each 
quarter.

The Co-op is located at 121 East Fifth Street in downtown Moscow.
