*Moscow Food Co-op Donates $432 to The Humane Society of the Palouse*

The Humane Society of the Palouse received $432 from the Moscow Food 
Co-op's /A Dime in Time/ community donation program in November.

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 November shoppers donated 4,320 dimes to The Humane Society of the 
Palouse, a non-profit whose mission is to ensure the humane treatment, 
welfare, and safety of companion animals in Moscow and Latah County. The 
Human Society will use funds from the Co-op's /A Dime in Time/ program 
for basic animal and veterinary care.

Future recipients include Sojourners' Alliance in December and Alliance 
House in January.

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.
