Community Partnership Program
August 29, 2023

Central Plains Co-op is here to serve our members with products and services that help build, feed and fuel individuals and communities. We are a different kind of business; being member-owned means that any profits are returned to our members and stay in the local community. We live where you live, work where you work and help grow the economy right here. We are your neighbours, and we make sustainable investments in the communities we share.
We know that our continued success depends on the strength of our community and we are committed to taking initiative in the communities we serve. This belief is the foundation of our Community Partnership program. This program strengthens the role we take in the communities where we do business by providing donations and sponsorships to organizations and by encouraging our Team Members to be involved in their communities.
