Community Event Fundraising
June 1, 2021

Our Community Event Fundraising Program supports local community groups and non-profit organizations by offering equipment and donation bundles to enable fundraising efforts in the community. Examples include BBQs, Car Washes, Tents, tables, etc.

We welcome the opportunity to be involved and help build a stronger community through fundraising programs that enrich the lives of community members. Whether groups are looking to host a BBQ or raise funds at one of our sites, Homestead has equipment and in-kind donations to help make these events successful.

Recipients must also provide a report to Homestead Co-op on the success of the program, how the funds were used and the impact the funds had on the program. This report shall be provided within one week of completion of the program or project using our Community Impact Form.

We Are Co-op

Homestead Co-op, like other community-minded businesses, receives numerous requests for donations. Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks to review your requests and respond. Homestead Co-op works hard to assist in as many community organizations as possible, however due to the high volume of requests received, not all worthwhile proposals will be approved. Such a response does not reflect upon the value of your organization and the valuable service you provide.
