Vote for Us! My Community Project Grants

We are so excited! We have been shortlisted as a My Community Project. Now it’s your turn to vote for us so we can receive the funding! 🙂

Your Manly Food Co-Op has applied for $24k in the liveable communities category (to “improve the local amenity and environment”) for the ‘My Community Project’ grant.

Project title: ‘Manly Food Co-Op Equipment and Signage’.

This funding will enable us to improve signage (window, walls and A-frames), purchase additional storage containers and improved dispensing units, another set of scales, and we are looking into a kegarator, so we can provide kombucha on tap again.

Why vote for us?

We’ve been fighting the War on Waste since 1997 by offering zero waste and organic alternatives to the modern supermarket!

We’re owned and operated by you, our community, and we rely on our volunteers to stay afloat.

As a Co-Operative, it is hard to raise capital, and this grant will help us be the best we can.
