How to Help

If you support our ideals, please help support us in one or more of the following ways:

Shop with us!
'Be the change you want to see in the world'.  If you care about the environment, community and your health, buying your food at the co-op is the most ethical way to shop (except maybe dumpster diving!).

Communicate
Got a great idea? Please share it with us! If we don't know about it, we can't do it, so please communicate with us to share your ideas or comments (good or bad).

Contact the store on: (02) 9563 6059 or email: fuji@coop.org.au.

Volunteer
Volunteer in the shop, or help sort the veg boxes, for just one hour a week to receive the volunteers' discount in the shop. We also need volunteers in all areas of management, including finances, computer help, cleaning, ordering, labelling, product research, design, promotion, finding and applying for grants, running stalls and lots more! There is always something you can do.

Spread the Word
Tell your friends about us! Also feel free to take some of our flyers to distribute or add our link to your website if you have one.  

Make food
Love cooking? We would love you to make something to sell in the co-op. Cakes and sweets always go down well, but savoury things are also very successful. It is a great way to help the co-op if you don't have the time to volunteer. You can take the ingredients from the co-op (remember to keep note of the cost), and just let us know the total cost and ingredients of the cake (or whatever) when you bring it in. No pre-warning is required, as long as you make sure the volunteer in the shop knows about it!
 
Donate
Money of course is always welcome, but also consider donating unwanted items you may have at home. We really need long-handled scoops (ladles?) for customers to use, stationery supplies, computer stuff, software, a laminator, a peanut-butter machine (hey, someone has to have one laying around at home!), and a fridge (plus lots of other stuff).
Incidentally we also have a small 'free box' in the shop, which is useful for passing on unwanted stuff, and handy for picking up a free bargain!
