It’s National Co-op Month! What’s the greatest benefit of being a cooperative member?
CARING FOR COMMUNITIES
As someone who works with multiple youth organizations, I know a thing or two about different places to go to get volunteer power or monetary donations. I almost always go to a cooperative first. They are happy to help, because they want the same thing I do: caring communities! The greatest benefit of being a member is feeling the sense of pride of the entire group and the ability to ask and receive much-needed help.

PART OF A FAMILY
The greatest benefit is you are a part of a family. You have a say about what goes on.
