Co-op Receives Grant
Company Shops Market is one of a handful of co-ops around the country that received a $1000 grant from the Cooperative Development Foundation for training needs of start-up co-ops. These funds will be used to provide professional training to our board of directors in co-op governance. It is very exciting to have our project recognized by a national cooperative organization!
For the Co-op,
Melissa.
