The Co-op’s Haiti Relief Days Result in Over $4,200
City Market customers, members and staff helped to raise over $4,200 to support the relief work in the earthquake-torn island of Haiti. In total, four Haiti Relief 1% days and donations from customers during January and February resulted in $4228.66 in funding for the Coop Emergency Fund.
The Cooperative Development Fund has created the Cooperative Emergency Fund specifically to provide financial aid to people during a devastating event like the recent earthquake. The Cooperative Emergency Fund will be donating all monies received from here until July 2010 to help the rebuilding efforts in Haiti. CDF will be collaborating with international cooperative relief efforts in this endeavor to rebuild those co-ops afflicted by this disaster.
In addition to the percentage of sales donated by the Co-op; members and customers can also donate to the relief fund online at their secure Web site, www.cdf.coop. Over the last 20 years, the Cooperative Emergency Fund has raised over $275,000 for cooperative relief and rebuilding efforts for ten different disasters. The CEF was founded to give stability and constancy to CDF’s emergency relief efforts, many of which are of a longer-term rebuilding nature.
