Lend a Hand recipients!

Each month, our customers have the opportunity to round up their shopping bill to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to support the work of a local nonprofit. 100% of these donations go to the charitable organization.

We believe our donations will have the greatest impact when we support local nonprofit organizations working in our community. To be considered, applicants should have 501(c)3 status and be headquartered in the Fairbanks area. We give preference to organizations whose work aligns with our Mission and Values.

Important Note: We do not donate to individuals, national charities, political candidates or organizations, organizations that advance a particular religious belief, or organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or status in any other protected group.

    When I found out there was a co-op in Fairbanks I had to go. I was not disappointed.

    All the produce is local or organic or both.

    I enjoy the options here quite a bit. If anything it is enjoyable just to go in and have a look.

    For a snack I recommend the sriracha chicken jerky made by EPIC. Super tasty!

    I was looking for the more non-conventional flours for baking

    and found exactly what I was looking for. Nice service, good selection.

    “

    The store is a very nice assortment of high quality groceries. Lots of organic fruits and vegetables,

    local produce and other products when they're available.

    I think they have the last good bulk food section in town.
