Alberni District Co-op celebrates $38,000 in Community Investment Funds.

A cornerstone of the Alberni Valley since 1928, the Alberni District Co-op has nearly a century of service under its belt. And as a member-owned cooperative, it's made many significant contributions to the local community, all thanks to the support of its members. 

Being a part of the Co-op is about more than just shopping locally — members know it’s also about investing in the greater community. Every dollar spent at the Co-op, stays in Alberni and helps them support initiatives that make the Alberni Valley an amazing place to live.

The Alberni District Co-op supports the community in a variety of ways, including providing funding from its ADC Investment Fund and through partnerships and sponsorships with local groups and organizations.

From supporting local soccer and hockey teams and larger community events that Alberni residents have loved for generations, such as Funtastic, Five Acre Shaker and various fall fairs, community comes first at the Alberni Co-op.

The Alberni Co-op takes pride in supporting such a wide range of initiatives. If you’re a local organization or group looking for funding, Alberni Co-op accepts new requests through their website year round. Apply online today!

The ADC Fund is an application specific program hosted once a year for larger projects enhancing the local community. The ADC Investment Fund plays a crucial part in how the Co-op gives back but represents only a portion of the support given out annually. 

Whether it’s funding sports teams, arts programs or essential services like the Port Alberni Shelter and the Kuu-us Crisis Line, Co-op members’ support makes it all possible.

Members enjoy a rewarding partnership with the Co-op! Through the cooperative system, members not only receive a portion of the profits each year but can feel confident knowing all funds stay within the community.

The Alberni District Co-op is always welcoming new members. If you want to make a difference in where your dollars go and help support your community, consider joining the Alberni District Co-op. Whether it’s funding sports teams, supporting the arts, or helping feed families in need, every contribution makes an impact.
