It’s time to vote for the local nonprofits that will receive our Lend a Hand register round-ups in 2023.
There are 32 nonprofits to consider this year, and 13 of those have never received Lend a Hand donations. Please select 11 organizations for our monthly register round-ups. (We reserve December for a giving tree and round-ups for the Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living.)
Please review the applications linked below before completing the Lend a Hand selection survey. By request, we have arranged the list into two groups: nonprofits that received Lend a Hand donations in the past and those that have not. You can also see how many times an organization has benefitted in parentheses. To view prior years’ donation amounts, click here.
Our survey will remain open through December 24th. Please contact Amber Quesenberry, General Manager gm@coopmarket.org or Ana Molina, Marketing Manager @marketing@coopmarket.org, if you have any questions.
