The Co-op offers both economic and social benefits. While we are committed to operating efficiently in providing goods and services to members and their families, we also recognize our social responsibility to help improve the quality of life in Yellowknife. Over the years, the Co-op has supported hundreds of local non-profits and charities.

Each year, the Yellowknife Co-op organizes fundraisers, cash donations, food drives and donates product to local non-profit groups, charities and schools. The Co-op’s members' take an active role by purchasing $5 donation coupons (located at our tills) for the Yellowknife Food Bank, the Salvation Army and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul as well as donating several thousand pounds of food to the Yellowknife Food Bank, the Salvation Army and the Yellowknife Women's Society through the in store drop-off bins.

The Co-op also allows non-profit community groups to pack members’ groceries, sell raffle tickets and conduct car washes in the parking lot in exchange for donations to raise funds. All together the Yellowknife Co-op is directly responsible for over $140,000 a year being raised or donated for local Yellowknife charities. As well, every year, the Co-op makes cash donations to Yellowknife and area schools.
