The Positive Change program raises money for local non-profit organizations working to better our community. We believe in the power of change and the power of community – Positive Change combines these two beliefs into one powerful program. The Positive Change program is one of the many ways the Co-op fulfills the seventh cooperative principle: Concern for Community.
Next time you check out, say “I’d like to round-up for Positive Change,” and we’ll round-up the total of your purchase to the nearest dollar, or you can donate any desired amount. Each month, the selected non-profit organization receives 100% of the donated funds, plus an additional mini grant from the Co-op (currently $400 each month). Annually, the Board of Directors selects one Positive Change recipient to receive an additional grant from our Cooperative Community Fund. Thank you for contributing to positive change and making a difference in our community!
SoHumane
Round up to support displaced pets this July! Since 1928, SoHumane (Southern Oregon Humane Society) has been dedicated to improving the lives of pets and people through shelter, care, adoption, and public education programs to promote the compassionate and responsible treatment of animals.
SoHumane’s mission is to improve the lives of pets and people through sustainable education programs, adoption, and spay/neuter. They are a no-kill shelter that allows animals all the time they need to find their forever home. Their goal is to save and find homes for as many animals as possible. In addition to adoption services, SoHumane helps relieve local shelters from overcrowding, and offers harder-to-adopt animals – like seniors and special needs animals, giving them the treatment and time they need.
Positive Change funds will support displaced pets – supplying nutritious well-balanced food, busy buckets, enrichment toys, bedding, and any other items to enhance the animal’s life while waiting for their forever home. Funds will also provide training and treatment for those animals that need a little extra help.
We turn spare change into Positive Change for local non-profits.
The Positive Change program is for organizations seeking direct financial support. Positive Change recipients for 2025 were selected by our owners in the 2024 Annual Election.

Spare change really adds up.
A few cents here and there add up to big impacts for our local non-profits.
