A Bag in Time

The Co-op would like to make it easier for forgetful people to still use re-usable shopping bags (and donate their dimes), by keeping a stash of re-usable bags at the store available for general use. The program will operate on the “got a bag? – need a bag?” honor system, just like those little penny cups at cash registers everywhere.

Do you have re-usable canvas totes or bags that you’d be willing to donate to our bag stash? Do you love to sew and want to donate some canvas bags to our collection?

Donated bags should be sturdy and preferably, recently washed. They can be dropped off in the bin at the front of the store near the check stands, where glass jars used to go.

Our A Dime in Time donations from re-used bags has leveled off around $450/month, and we’d like to get it up to $500/month starting in July. Thanks for all your help to make this happen.

Participating Member Program (formerly known as the Volunteer Program)

We need about four participating members to take turns assisting with prep and clean-up work before and after each of our cooking classes for the Essential Cookery series and the What’s Cookin’ series. Essential Cookery classes are held in the fall, winter, and spring, and What’s Cookin’ classes are in the fall and spring.

Cooking class participating members will be given free admission to the class as a thank-you for their help.
