Community Outreach

Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op is not just a natural foods store.  Built into our mission statement - and the cooperative principles we uphold - is a commitment to our community.

When we are able, the Co-op funnels its dollars back into the community by participating in special events and assisting local non-profit organizations, through donations of gift certificates or product to community groups whose missions we support.

Some of this year’s projects include:

• Sponsorships of:
• Blue Ridge Public Television’s Open Mic
• Fall Waterways Cleanup and Celebration
• SPCA annual Dog Walk
• WVTF Public Radio

• Donations of food, money, or gift certificates:
• Bradley Free Clinic, monthly dinner for volunteer medical professionals
• Camp Roanoke
• Clean Valley Council
• Glenvar Elementary
• Explore Park
• Mill Mountain Theatre’s Cork and Curtain
• Northside Middle
• Pink Ribbon Affair
• RAIL Solution
• Raleigh Court Elementary
• Virginia Heights Elementary

The Co-op is interested in helping groups focus on responsible environmental practices and in new ideas and community activities. For more information, email us.
