●       Second prize: $50 gift card

●       Third prize: $25 gift card

Restaurant raffle rules

The raffle begins now and runs through March 15th. To enter the raffle, show us receipts from any restaurants, cafés, caterers, bakeries, food producers, or grocery stores that are Collective Resource Compost Cooperative customers. Spend at least $100 total. You could spend it all at one place or several as long as it adds up to at least $100.

E-mail your receipts to customerservice@collectiveresourcecompost.coop by March 15, 2024. Winners will be drawn randomly and contacted on March 19, 2024.
