Help Steep Hill Food Co-op get Over this Hill!

Steep Hill Food Co-op – Help Steep Hill get OVER THIS STEEP HILL!

Thank you for considering a donation towards our $50,000 goal. This money will go a long way towards helping Steep Hill Food Co-op survive this crisis under the leadership of an interim Board. A new board will be elected at the June AGM.

Did you know that - Steep Hill Food Co-op is turning 45 years old this fall?

As you have heard, the previously-elected board reluctantly made the decision to close the Steep Hill Food Co-op store, as it had been losing money over the past few years and the operating reserve was depleted. However, since this decision was made, many people have stepped forward with offers of financial support and their time. This will help our co-op establish a way forward as we continue to strive to be a sustainable, values-based organization. We can climb the steep hill back to success with the support of our community.

Your donations will sustain Steep Hill Food Co-op through this important period of revitalization.

As a co-operative, Steep Hill Food Co-op is part of a long and important tradition in Saskatchewan of people working together to meet their common needs and aspirations. The co-operative relies on a volunteer board, friendly and helpful staff, locally grown and sourced food as well as committed members and community.

With your financial support, Steep Hill will remain a vital and sustainable fixture in Saskatoon for the next 45 years!

Invest in your Co-op!

To bridge the current reality to a sustainable plan requires $50,000. 100% of the funds will be used to support the development and implementation of a financial and operational plan to run the co-op more sustainably.

Building community, encouraging sustainable and healthy living, and connecting local producers to consumers – this is at the heart of Steep Hill Food Co-op. Please consider donating to Steep Hill Food Co-op if you believe in:
