Co-op Cares Community Support Program
CVEA recently created a support program to assist our communities with the negative impacts of COVID-19, and to remind CVEA members that we are in this together. The program consisted of several components:
- CVEA sent $100 grocery gift cards to members immediately faced with negative financial impacts due to COVID-19
- CVEA provided meals to essential workers to thank them for continuing to work hard and keep our communities going throughout the pandemic
- CVEA supported local restaurants by purchasing multiple meals weekly for essential workers
- The Co-op is working on a program to provide incremental funding to local nonprofit organizations who have increased support to those needing extra care as a result of the COVID-19 crisis
- CVEA issued a $25 Community Cares Gift Certificate to every CVEA residential member; providing a small amount of support for members and local businesses (Thanks to the participating businesses below - this gift certificate expired August 8, 2020)
- The Co-op developed a summer activity program, with financial rewards, for kids age 2-18, to support their physical, social, and mental well-being (the deadline for participation was August 8, 2020. 153 kids, age 2-18, participated. See below for winners)
Community Cares Gift Certificate
A big THANK YOU to all local businesses who participated in the CVEA COVID Community Cares Gift Certificate Program. We appreciate you and hope you saw these gift certificates and some additional spending at your business. Don't forget, you have until September 20 to submit your collected gift certificates to CVEA for payment.
