With all of our latest progress and community interest, we thought it would be fun to do a good ol’ fashioned promotion to incentivize PFC Ownership while supporting a few local, beloved businesses.
Rustic Road Farm CSA
To celebrate National Co-op Month (aka Co-Optober) we promised to raffle off a Spring Greens CSA share from Rustic Road Farm to one lucky PFC Owner IF we reach a total of 50 new Owners between October 1st to November 19th (50 days) to all new PFC Owners and referrers between these dates and are elated to announce that we reached our goal early and will be raffling the CSA off after Nov 19th, and are adding another BIG prize!
Local Glass Studio
In celebration of reaching our original 50 Owner goal, we want to offer another unique prize from another unique local business and are excited to announce that we will raffle off a $200 gift card to Local Glass Studio in Glen Ellyn which you could use for one-of-a-kind classes (like stained glass, fused, and mosaic classes) or maybe for a glass making (or ornament?) party! Whatever you choose, getting in touch with your creative side is an invaluable gift to give to yourself and others. We will raffle this off IF we reach 75 total Owners between Oct 1 and Nov 19 (we're already over 50!). Check out their website and all of their cool classes and offerings!
Local Love
To sweeten the deal, we will also raffle off 4 $50 gift cards from 4 local, beloved businesses to 4 referrers and/or new PFC Owners in this time frame whether we make our 50 Owner goal or not. So if you refer or become a PFC Owner between October 1st and November 19, you have a chance to win! This time around we are raffling off 1 $50 gift card from Spiritus Coffee, Soapy Roads of Lombard, Afterthought Brewery, and Righteous Kitchen - all local businesses, and all of them PFC Owners!
UPDATE: We're adding more! In celebration of reaching our original 50 Owner goal we have added FOUR MORE local businesses all from Villa Park because we want to show our VP neighbors some neighborly love! These awesome businesses are The Standard Meadery, Villa Perk Coffee Co., Michael Anthony's Pizza, and our neighbors, Lombard Ace Hardware (ok, not actually Villa Park, but we know many VP'ers go here). We will raffle these additional gift cards off regardless if we meet our 75 New Owner goal or not!
Jump Off that Fence!
If you’ve been watching our progress, you may have noted that our store has not only started to get built, but it’s now starting to look like an actual store! We’ve gone from an idea to a reality, but local ownership from as many in our community as possible is still important. Our Owners are the building block of our store and we wll always be asking for our community to support their local food co-op by becoming PFC Owners. Although anyone and everyone can shop at our store, for just a one-time $200, PFC Owners will get certain perks and discounts when we open, plus the right to vote for the board or run for the board.
Refer that friend!
If you’re already a PFC Owner, now is a great time to reach out to that friend, neighbor, family member, or co-worker and encourage them to look more into PFC and consider becoming PFC Owner. If they do, then that means that you are both eligible to win any of the above raffle prizes. Just remember to tell them to enter your name as a referrer when they become a PFC Owner!
