Oryana For Good

Oryana, like all co-ops, takes the 7th cooperative principle of Concern for Community, very seriously.* One of the reasons we strive to maintain a positive growth pattern is so we can continue to give back as much as possible to our community. From our annual microloan program to our beans for bags donations, and many other avenues for contributing, we always have ‘giving’ on our minds and take to heart the idea that helping some of our community members helps our whole community. We like to call our giving program, Oryana for Good.
