Dear Butte County Community,
Even though we are in the midst of dark times, our community has truly shown resilience, care, and compassion for each other. You have overwhelmed us with generosity through incredible donations and scores of volunteer hours over these past 12 days!
While we continue to support those in acute need with hot soup, coffee, and a safe gathering space, we have begun to shift our focus to long term needs for the community. With your help, we have secured over 50 pallets of food and supplies for those displaced from their homes and found space to safely store and distribute these goods into the future, even after the fires are out and the headlines fade. We will continue to keep you apprised of opportunities to receive help and to help others.
Thanksgiving will undoubtedly be different this year. Many of us will be welcoming more friends, family, or even strangers to our Thanksgiving tables. We want to help by supplying your turkey. When you spend $150 or more this week, your co-op will give you a free organic turkey.
Yes, we're a grocery store, and we hope you will shop with us. But we're also a co-op and that means community is at the heart of everything we do. Come in and find your community holding you strong as we heal together.
Stay safe, eat well, and surround yourselves with love this week.
In Cooperation and with great care,
Liza Tedesco
General Manager of the Chico Natural Foods Cooperative
