Fundraising

Here are some great ways to raise money for the co-op doing your regular shopping!

• Use this link to shop at Amazon and the Co-op will earn up to 15% of each purchase.

• Shop online through www.schoolcash.com and the Co-op will automatically get a percentage (up to 40%!) of every purchase you make!
• A new consignment store, Finder's Keepers in Lake City, will give the co-op 12% for all purchases of their Womenís, Childrenís and Maternity clothing when the co-op is mentioned.
• You can also buy "scrip" for PCC that will return 5% of your grocery purchases to the co-op. Works just like a gift certificate.
• Co-op Members Irene and Stephan's yummy Fine Foods Site
  (10% of purchases go to the fundraising campaign, Please mention CCC on your order form)
