LOCALLY INVESTED — COMMUNITY MINDED

Our fiscal year for Member Relations donations runs from November 28, 2021 to November 26, 2022.🥰

We will announce our donations and volunteer hours on a monthly basis here — along with some key donations that were made in the communities we serve. Please see that the current month will be on the top; watch how our donations grow throughout the year!

Twin Valley Co-op is excited to work with each organization and help them meet their project goals. ❤️
