Making Healthy Food More Attainable
At the Co-op, we’re not just focused on renovating our storefront and expanding our product selection. We’ve also been busy thinking of creative ways we can make good, healthy food more accessible to the public. We're thrilled have launched FLOWER Membership and renovate our SENIOR Program in September 2011.
FLOWER Membership
Fresh, Local & Organic
Within Everyone's Reach
Our special FLOWER Membership is the Co-op’s new member-owner discount specifically designed to make our products more affordable for lower-income individuals and families. Eligible FLOWER participants will receive 15 percent off store purchases every day and an affordable membership to the Co-op. FLOWER fits the Co-op’s mission to “provide our community with high-quality natural and organic foods and environmentally sound products at reasonable prices” and opens the door to folks who would otherwise not be able to become Co-op members.
FLOWER means more people in our community coming together and supporting a dynamic, locally owned cooperative that is committed to offering healthier food choices. Individuals currently receiving assistance from certain government programs will receive a total discount of 15 percent at our stores and a total of four years to complete the membership investment. This discount applies to all items in the store including our “Co-op Value Price” items (everyday low prices on specific products in our stores) and our Co+op Deals sales (items that appear in our biweekly sales flyer).
Current and new member-owners qualify for FLOWER
if they currently receive assistance from one of the following programs:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps)
- Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
- NH Healthy Kids GOLD
- Medicaid
- Free School Lunch Program
How do you apply? Applications are available from any cashier, or click here to download and print your copy. Completed applications can be submitted to either store. As a FLOWER member-owner participant, you may make annual membership payments in place of quarterly payments until the full membership investment is completed. The FLOWER discount lasts for one year, and program participants will need to reapply annually. FLOWER membership, like all Co-op memberships, is an individual membership, good for one adult and family members living within your household.
SENIOR Program
Supporting Elder Nutrition
Is Our Responsibility
With the introduction of the FLOWER Membership, we felt it was also time to update our Tuesday Senior Discount. Seniors will now receive 15 percent off their purchases (replacing the previous 10 percent) every Tuesday at the Co-op. Seniors age 62 and older may request our newly designed SENIOR Card or have their current Member Card updated to indicate that they are eligible for the new SENIOR discount. The SENIOR discount is available to all eligible individuals regardless of membership status. Those customers who qualify for the Tuesday Senior discount will no longer need to request the discount... simply present your card when you shop! Click here to download the SENIOR card application or pick up a copy from any cashier. Completed applications can be submitted to either store.
