Celebrate Co-op Month with CVEA

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2023 Co-op Month Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin Patch events in the Copper Basin and Valdez. We appreciate all who helped demonstrate what Co-op Month is all about - Commitment to Community. Whether you supported a local nonprofit through a FUNdraiser or donated to the local food bank, you were a huge part of coming together for a wonderful cause. 

Together, we supported 16 local nonprofit organizations, who all raised money for their worthwhile projects and programs. We are so thankful for the hard work they do in our communities. 

We also raised $796 for the Copper River Basin Resource Council and $2,196 for the Valdez Food Bank. Alyeska Pipeline Service Company is generously matching those totals, doubling our donation. To top it off, we also raised tons of food in each district, 923 pounds in Valdez alone. Way to go, everyone. We appreciate everyone's efforts to help their friends and neighbors in need. We also appreciate the efforts of both Food Banks to provide this essential service to our community. 

CVEA would like to shout out to the entire CVEA team for their hard work and to the local volunteers who helped make these events happen. Big thanks also to our nonprofit and food vendor partners. You helped make the entire event FUN. We couldn't do it without you.

If you are interested in participating in next year's event, please contact Sarah Jorgenson-Owen at 907-835-4301 or email sjorgensonowen@cve.org. We will start promoting opportunities in July, 2024, so stay tuned!
