At Georgia Co-op Development Center, wherever possible, we believe in finding win-win-win solutions. For Co-op Month we’re practicing more P6 that’s Cooperative Principle 6 or “Cooperation Among Cooperatives”. We’ve assembled a list of Georgia co-ops, and partner nonprofits, below who we love and are part of the vibrant growing co-op movement and new economy. Join us in supporting these great organizations. Check out some fellow #ShopCoop lists from our friends. Enjoy! And if you notice your co-op missing, just drop us an email at info@georgiacoopdc.org. Happy Co-op Month!
