Round It Up
Supporting initiatives that improve the health of our community and help create a vibrant, sustainable local food system.
Round It Up Donation Drives
Our Co-op holds monthly Round It Up Donation in NH, allowing customers to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar, five or ten at the register, and donate their change to a non-profit that works locally and aligns with our mission.
Our Round It Up Donation Drives aims to raise funds for initiatives that improve the health of our community and help create a vibrant, sustainable local food system, including supporting Local Vendors in Keene.

Cornucopia Project
“The Round It Up donation funds that Cornucopia Project has received from the Monadnock Food Co-op has been instrumental in supporting our organization’s work to educate and empower individuals to make healthier food choices. With this donation drive in Keene financial support, we are able to continue our educational programs in nine local elementary school gardens, conduct cooking classes, distribute cooking kits, and increase educational farm field trips for students through the Round It Up donation in NH.
The impact of these programs has been profound, with children gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of healthy eating and sustainability. We are grateful to the Monadnock Food Co-op and their customers for their generous support, which continues to make a difference in our community’s food culture. Thank you!”

Northeast Organic Farming Association of NH
“Monadnock Food Co-op’s Round It Up Donation helps make NOFA-NH’s Farm Share Program possible. This donation drive actively increases food security in New Hampshire by providing subsidized, certified organic CSA shares to community members with limited income across the Granite State. Funds were used to cover 50% of farm share costs for program participants — the amount NOFA-NH dedicates to subsidizing each farm share.
NOFA-NH subsidized 64 farm shares in 2023, helping to feed 188+ limited-income individuals and families across NH. This has been our most significant program impact to date, and we are deeply grateful to Monadnock Food Co-op for helping to fund this important work through the Round It Up donation in NH!“

“Thanks to the generous donation from the Monadnock Food Co-op’s Round It Up Donation Drive in Keene, Southwestern Community Services Women, Infant and Children program was able to increase support to our WIC Nutritionists, Breastfeeding Peer Support Counselors, and Program Support Staff.
This, in return, helped assist over 2,000 households to have the resources, knowledge, and tools they need to be the parents they want to be. Thank you, Monadnock Food Co-op and the Monadnock Region, for your generosity and continued support!”
