Rooted Carrot Market Co-op member-owners volunteered on Saturday, February 24th at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.
Co-op member-owners were part of a team of 30 volunteers who folded boxes, affixed labels to zip close bags, filled the bags with rolled oats and boxed them for storage and distribution.
Together, we bagged about 1 ¾ tons of oats in a 2-hour shift, proving that when we cooperate, we can accomplish great things for our community!
If you were unable to attend and would like to support the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, or if you are in need of food assistance, visit https://www.neifb.org/ for information.
The Rooted Carrot Co-op will continue to seek opportunities to partner with organizations in our area that share our values and work to positively impact the well being of all those living in the Cedar Valley.
