October is Co-op Month!

High Falls Food Co-op, 1398 Route 213, High Falls is joining over 65,000 co-operatives and credit unions across the United States in celebrating Co-op Month, observed nationally since 1964. The theme for 2024, “The Future is Cooperative,” was chosen by the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA CLUSA) as an opportunity to engage co-op members, customers, employees, and policy makers about what makes co-operative enterprise unique. As businesses that are owned and controlled by the people who use them to meet their shared needs, co-ops offer an alternative vision for a more inclusive economy that puts people and the future of the planet before profit.

In celebrations of Co-op Month, all High Falls Co-op-made brands in the store, including their own store-made deli products will be available for purchase at 10% off, all month. They are also holding a special member drive for October called “Own it in October.” For the entire month, anyone who becomes a member-owner during the month will receive a $20 gift card to the co-op, one of their new co-op baseball hats, and a new member-owner shopping bag. New member-owners and any current member-owner who brings in a new member-owner during the month also will receive that $20 gift card. The Co-op has also requested that Governor Hochul declare October to be National Co-op Month each year. For more information, visit highfallsfoodcoop.com or call 845-687-7262.

While each food co-op is unique and owned by the community, they’re also part of a network of neighborhood stores across the country that work together toward the day when everyone has the good, local, healthy food they deserve. Welcome to the table!
