<BR><B>Moscow Food Co-op Donates $550.80 to Friends of the Clearwater</B>
<BR> <BR>Friends of the Clearwater received $550.80 in August from the
Moscow Food Co-op’s <I>A Dime in Time</I> community donation program. The
Co-op's<I> A Dime in Time</I> 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. <BR>
<BR>In August, Co-op shoppers donated 5,508 dimes to Friends of the Clearwater,
a Moscow-based non-profit organization, which will use the <I>A Dime in Time</I>
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. <BR>
<BR>Other recent <I>A</I> <I>Dime in Time</I> program recipients include<SPAN>
</SPAN>Dinner in the Garden, an event organized by the Lewis-Clark State College
Center for Arts and History in September.<SPAN> </SPAN>The Humane Society
of the Palouse is the recipient in October. <BR> <BR>Local groups
interested in being selected to receive future awards can submit a grant
application found on the Co-op’s website (<U><A
href="http://www.moscowfood.coop/">www.moscowfood.coop</A></U>). 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.
<BR> <BR>The Co-op is located at 121 East Fifth Street in downtown Moscow.
