Try Something Different This Weekend

Feather River Food Co-op

As we near the end of summer, we only have two more clean-up dates remaining at each location for our Adopt A Highway program. Our success would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of our exceptional volunteer liaisons, Carla Hamilton from Quincy and Will Mckie from Portola. They lead 5-6 clean-up events from April to September, managing teams of residents from Plumas-Sierra County to collect 4-6 bags of waste which maintains clean roads and streams. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to keeping our communities clean. 

Click here to Volunteer: https://featherriver.coop/community/

At Feather River Food Co-op, we are committed to making a positive impact in our communities and setting an example for local businesses and cooperatives across the nation. By collaborating with like-minded citizens and organizations, we strive to achieve this mission. Through cooperation, we can create meaningful change together.

Meeting place:
8/26 Quincy Adopt-A-Hwy volunteers meet at 268 Main St. Quincy @ 9:00 a.m.
8/20 Portola Adopt-A-Hwy volunteers meet at 73233 CA-70, Portola @ 9:00 a.m.

Help us go paperless! The simplest way to sign up is to scan the QR code on our flyers at either store location and fill out the volunteer form.
