Moscow Food Co-op Donates $510.50 to Alliance House




Alliance House received $510.50 from the Moscow Food Co-op's A Dime in Time community donation program in January. 




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 January shoppers donated 5,105 dimes to Alliance House, a non-profit serving our community for 20 years that provides safe and affordable housing opportunities to individuals living with mental illness. Alliance House encourages residents to be active members of the community, participate in social service programs, and find employment. The organization promotes destigmatization of mental illness through community education and awareness.




Future recipients include Moscow CommUNITY Walk in February.




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). 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.
