The East End Food Coop ROUNDS UP to benefit BikePGH

Have you ever wondered how much your pocket change can help to make a difference? East End Food Coop is on a mission to show local Pittsburghers the beauty of small donations. The fresh, local, and organic grocery coop hosts monthly campaigns to raise money for local organizations, such as BikePGH, by asking their patrons to simply “Round Up” their bill to the nearest dollar amount when shopping in the store.

Although each donor in the past month added less than a dollar per transaction, all of the donations together totaled to $1,781.44!!!! What a beautiful demonstration of how communities, together, can gather resources to fund change! We are so thankful for community partners like East End Food Coop who recognize the importance of our mission.
