WOW!!!! Our community absolutely crushed it! Through Round Ups at The Goose Community Grocer, you all raised $11,126.68 for Whidbey Homeless Coalition this May. That is the single highest month's Round Up total since the program started in 2020!!! 💚💙💛

Keep that generosity and community spirit going. June Round Ups go to support Friends of Friends Medical Support Fund, who serve as a community safety net, easing the burden of unexpected medical expenses, and can help with healthcare visits, hospital and lab bills, prescriptions, transportation, and more. Just ask your Goose cashier to Round Up your total to the nearest dollar!

"The ripple effects expressed symbolically in our logo are literally how Goosefoot affects change on a community-wide level. Nancy Nordhoff, co-founder of Goosefoot, made the first major ripple in 1999, when she bought and renovated the Cash Store at Bayview Corner to advance community-building and economic development. Since then, Goosefoot's ripples have only increased in size and impact."
