Moscow Food Co-op Donates $550.80 to Friends of the Clearwater 
  
Friends of the Clearwater received $550.80 in August 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 August, Co-op shoppers donated 5,508 dimes to Friends of the Clearwater, a Moscow-based non-profit organization, which will use the A Dime in Time proceeds to upgrade its website to be a more dynamic and interactive resource for the public to use to locate outdoor recreation opportunities and to learn about the wildlife and natural history of the Clearwater region. 
  
Other recent A Dime in Time program recipients include Dinner in the Garden, an event organized by the Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts and History in September.  The Humane Society of the Palouse is the recipient in October. 
  
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 review the applications and select recipients each quarter. 
  
The Co-op is located at 121 East Fifth Street in downtown Moscow.
