Co-op distributes equity cheques and supports food drive

By Joan Janzen

Grocery shoppers visiting the Kindersley and District Co-op Food Store on Tuesday, Dec. 2, took part in two community-focused events.

Customers lined up to collect their annual equity cheques, with this year’s general cash repayment totalling $454,027.44. Equity cheques were also available for pick-up in Eatonia, Mantario, Laporte, Leader and Hoosier.

Shoppers also helped “cram the cruiser” as the Kindersley RCMP parked a police vehicle outside the store with its lights flashing. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., community members filled the cruiser with food donations, demonstrating strong support for local families and food security.
