Food Co-op raises money for United Way

MARQUETTE, MI--   The Marquette Food Co-op has donated more than $4,000 to the United Way of Marquette County through its Round Up at the Register program. 

During fundraising periods Co-op shoppers were asked if they wanted to round up the total of their purchases to the next whole dollar amount. The difference was donated to the United Way. 

Store officials say they collected 9,417 individual donations averaging 42 cents from shoppers over the 60-day campaign.

The United Way of Marquette County supports 28 local and regional charity organizations across the county.
