On 5% Friday, you shop and together we give 5% of Co-op sales on one Friday a month to a non-profit, charitable community organization. On Friday, December 19th, we're donating 5% of the day's sales to Mount Vernon Police Department's Integrated Outreach Services.
The Mount Vernon Police Department’s Integrated Outreach Services (IOS) focuses on outreach and assistance to the homeless population. The program has expanded services, allowing the IOS to reach more people and provide more comprehensive, layered assistance. The goal is to provide housing, food, health care, treatment, a path to employment – all intended to help people establish stability in their lives.
How Will Your Shopping Trip Support MVPD IOS?
Funds from 5% Friday will be used for MVPD IOS to purchase incidentals – food, temporary housing, medical expenses, transportation to treatment, and prescriptions. These incidentals also include expenses involved in replacing critical paperwork: licenses, IDs, birth certificates, and more.
