Take Action: Nurture the environment! It's DOABLE!
Pictured left: Community volunteer David Hogg
and his grandchildren plant a tree on the CEC
property. Planting something with a child
connects them to the environment in a meaningful
way. Involve them in plant selection, ground
prep, planting, and nurturing!

It's our 20th
Anniversary...celebrate with us! Each
month, CEC will role out a new benefit of
supporting CEC! Once the monthly "20 for $20"
deal is revealed, the first 20 people to make a
$20 gift through the
shopping cart will receive the featured item
or experience. It's our own little "Groupon"-
we'll call it a Cope-On! So, stay turned to our
website and various social medias to take part
in this exciting celebration of our 20th year of
service!
Please note:
Item will be available for pick-up in Richmond
at the Clear Creek Co-op until the end of each
month. Promotion will end when 20 people have
made a gift of $20 through the shopping cart.
Tax deductibility of each month's promotional
item or experience will be noted during the
check out process. Any amount beyond the value
of the item is deductible. CEC is a 501 (c)(3)
