Make a difference by volunteering
Starting February 24, we’re introducing a new benefit for our members–and for the community!
CCM has hand-selected a number of local nonprofit organizations that align with our own advocacy guidelines. We encourage our members to volunteer for these worthy causes, and in return we will offer you 10% off up to 3x per month!
To sign up, download and fill out the CCM Volunteer Agreement and submit the completed application to info@ccmgrocery.coop.
How it works
Community Co-op Market members earn discounts via community volunteerism.
Co-op Worker Bees may receive CCM discounts in return for tracking volunteer hours at our partner organizations.
Interested Members start by completing a CCM Volunteer Agreement, found here:
Once the signed application is received, co-op staff will confirm eligibility for the program and email approved volunteers with a welcome message, including a downloadable volunteer hours log worksheet.
Volunteers will work directly with partner organizations to complete any required training and schedule volunteer shifts.
Volunteer hours must be performed at an approved Co-op Worker Bees partner organization (partial list below).
Track volunteer shifts with our Co-op Worker Bees Volunteer Hours Log.

Co-op Worker Bees is the name of our volunteer recruitment program. We reward CCM members with in-store discounts, to encourage them to support local non-profit organizations that need help.
-
Our volunteer program was created with the intention of creatively encouraging active, sustained volunteerism with nonprofit organizations who closely align CCM’s Mission, Values and Principles, and Advocacy Guidelines.

Volunteers are responsible for reaching out to our partners to schedule hours. Hours worked must be verified by a supervisor at the partner organization to count towards your monthly total.
CCM Members who accrue six (6) verified hours within a calendar month will receive a one-time discount of 10% off. Volunteers may claim up to eighteen (18) hours per month, meaning they can receive up to three (3) discounts each month. Members will be notified at check-out via register prompt when volunteer discounts are available.
The monthly maximum of eighteen (18) eligible hours applies per membership account, so primary and household members on one account will count cumulatively. -
