Help Us Fuel Young Minds 

We believe that a healthy community starts with well-fed kids. That’s why this fall, we are running our Good Buy to Hunger campaign to support local school breakfast and lunch programs.

If you're part of a school that could use a helping hand with your meal program, we’d love to hear from you! Applications for funding are open now until May 23, 2025, and six schools will be selected based on how close they are to one of our food stores.

Then from August 21 to September 3, 2025, we invite our amazing customers and members to donate at any North Central Co-op food store. Every dollar goes directly to the selected schools—and thanks to everyone's generosity, we’ve already raised over $32,000 in the last two years!

Let’s keep the momentum going. Apply now, spread the word, and help us give local students the fuel they need to learn and grow.

Between August 22 and September 4, 2024, at North Central Co-op food stores, we helped say Good Buy to Hunger in support of local school lunch and breakfast programs. With the incredible generosity of our customers and members, we successfully raised $10,345.93 to help feed young students in our community! We supported Meyokumin School, Winterburn School, Bertha Kennedy Catholic Community School, St. Andre Bessette Catholic School, and École Meridian Heights School. We are grateful for your generosity!

From March 14th to April 3rd, 2024 we helped say Good Buy to Hunger by collectively raising $28,008 for our local food banks! We extend our heartfelt gratitude for continually raising the standard in supporting the communities we call home.

Between November 16th and December 6th, 2023, members and customers helped us say Good Buy to Hunger by making a donation in support of their local Food Bank at all North Central Co-op food store locations. We're so thrilled to share that together we raised a whopping $35,165! A huge thank you to all the members, customers and team members who contributed!

We are dedicated to fostering the well-being of the communities we serve. From August 24th to September 6th, 2023 we ran a Good Buy to Hunger campaign in support of local school lunch programs. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and members, together we raised $21,711.78. This significant contribution will play a vital role in nourishing young minds in our communities. We deeply appreciate your generosity and support in making a positive impact on the lives of the children around us.

From March 16th to April 12th, 2023 North Central Co-op customers and members raised $28,500 for our local food banks during our spring Good Buy to Hunger campaign! Thank you to everyone who donated what you could. It makes a huge difference in our communities.

Thanks to the generosity and kindness of our members and customers we were able to raise $33,200 or the equivalent of 3320 hampers, during our November 2022 Good Buy to Hunger campaign!
