Did you know that the Co-op is run by wonderful people like Mike?
Mike helps unload, price and package all deliveries that arrive at the store every Wednesday.
He has volunteered at the Co-op for 4 years and really enjoys the company of the other volunteers. Mike says that “the other volunteers are all terrific people whose company is a pleasure to spend time with. The customers and vendors are also friendly and personable so along with the volunteers this creates a relaxing and comforting atmosphere.”
“The other volunteers are all terrific people whose company is a pleasure to spend time with.”
Mike said his go-to store in Vernon was Superstore, however, in the last 4 years he has started shopping there less and less. In turn, Mike has started shopping more at Monashee Community Co-op. He said “the discount (10% – as a volunteer) on my purchases is certainly an incentive as well as not having to drive to Vernon. I also think I am eating healthier with the organic purchases and also with the information gleaned from the other volunteers and customers.”
Mike is also a member of Monashee Toastmasters and North Okanagan Valley Gleaners – Nov Gleaners.
Thank you Mike for all your hard work and your welcoming smile when people come into the store.
