Donate and Make a Difference
April 28, 2023
As a co-operative, Steep Hill Food Co-op is part of a long and important tradition in Saskatchewan of people working together to meet their common needs and aspirations. The co-operative relies on a volunteer board, friendly and helpful staff, locally grown and sourced food as well as committed members and community.
Thank you for considering a donation towards our $50,000 goal. This money will go a long way towards helping Steep Hill Food Co-op survive this crisis under the leadership of an interim Board. A new board will be elected at the June AGM.
Did you know that - Steep Hill Food Co-op is turning 45 years old this fall?
As you have heard, the previously-elected board reluctantly made the decision to close the Steep Hill Food Co-op store, as it had been losing money over the past few years and the operating reserve was depleted. However, since this decision was made, many people have stepped forward with offers of financial support and their time. This will help our co-op establish a way forward as we continue to strive to be a sustainable, values-based organization. We can climb the steep hill back to success with the support of our community.
Your donations will sustain Steep Hill Food Co-op through this important period of revitalization.
