Co-op gives $1,400 to Funhouse

Two years ago, Orcas Food Co-op launched a community shopping day program called “3 % Thursdays.” On the third Thursday of each month, 3 percent of the gross receipts of Orcas Food Co-op are donated to preselected community organizations. Last month, 3% Thursday and Roundup at the register sales contributed a total of $1,462.66 to The Funhouse Commons.

This month the Farm to Cafeteria Program will receive 3 percent of the gross receipts of food co-op sales on Thursday, Aug. 16.
