Benefits
The
support and involvement of cooperative members ensures
that the Co-op remains strong and a responsive community.
As members of a co-operative we can affect our community, both within
our own organization and in the community-at-large.
Therefore, it is the policy of the co-op to encourage member labor by
awarding discounts to members who work in the store or on approved
committee projects.
In addition, a nominal discount is offered to non-working members who
support the co-op through buying membership shares.
The amount of discount varies. At the present, members participate in
the discount privilege according to the following scale:
2%
- Non-working members who are up to date with their
share payment.
10% - Monthly members who work 3 hours a month plus 1 hour for each
additional adult in a household.
26% - Weekly members who work 3 hours a week plus 1 hour per week for
each additional adult in a household.
5% non-working members who are senior citizens (65 years old and over)
The
2% discount takes effect the Monday following
orientation. Member labor discounts take effect once the member has
completed the work requirement.
