April 2025 Newsletter
🎉 Get ready to celebrate! April marks our official Grand Opening month here at Graze, and we're so excited to share this milestone with all of you. This month is packed with special events, exciting offers, and opportunities to experience everything your co-op has to offer.
As our community embraces Graze and we welcome more and more shoppers through our doors, our need for dedicated volunteers is also growing. Your support has been invaluable in getting us to this point, and now, as we enter this exciting new chapter, we're looking for more friendly faces to join our volunteer team so we can keep the momentum going! Thursdays have become especially busy as we typically receive multiple orders that day while we are also open. If you are able to volunteer a couple of hours of your time each week or each month [cashiering, receiving orders, stocking shelves] please email us at contact@graze.coop. Together, we can continue to build our community co-op into something great!
