The Finland Co-op is a pillar of our community, providing groceries, hardware, automotive supplies, gardening supplies, farm supplies, gas, propane, and a place to meet with your neighbors. But did you know that they also help make Thursday Youth Night possible? Every week, the Finland Cooperative donates $50 of food to be served at Thursday Kids Night. This allows us to provide healthy foods to area youth. The power of this support is tangible, as we are constantly complimented by attending youth on the quality of the food we serve at youth night. It’s with this knowledge that we extend a heartfelt thank-you to the Finland Co-op.

But wait, we’re not done! The Finland Co-op Community Fund, a nonprofit associated with the Finland Co-op that works to support the Finland Community, has also supported Thursday Youth Night through a grant. Thank you, Finland Co-op Community Fund. Your support helps make this program possible!

This support from community organizations like the Finland Co-op and the Finland Co-op Community Fund highlights what is possible when we work together to make Finland and its surrounding area a more inviting and vibrant place.

The Finland Co-op Community Fund has asked us to let you know that their

Hal Bockovich Finland Cooperative Scholarship application deadline has been extended to May 1st. The Hal Bockovich Finland Cooperative Scholarship is for area youth who are seeking post-secondary education. You can learn more and apply on the Finland Co-op website.
