Co-op EATS Program

Enough Abundance to Share

Our EATS program was created with a simple premise: everyone deserves to have access to healthy food regardless of income.

Members in good standing (either paid in full or current on equity payments) can submit an application to receive a 15% discount for a period of six months with the option to renew as long as they still qualify.

The discount is valid in both stores and is tied to your membership—you don’t carry a special card or show anything to your cashier after you’ve signed up.

Program Eligibility Requirements

Members who are current in the following program/s are eligible for our EATS discount:

• Montana Healthy Kids
• SNAP — food stamp benefits (balance must be above $0)
• Medicaid
• Extra Help through Medicare
• Section 8 Housing
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Property Tax Assistance Program for low-income Montana seniors (PTAP)
• WIC (Women, Infants and Children)

How to Sign Up

Signing up is easy! Simply stop by the Customer Service desk, show your qualifying card (from the programs mentioned above) to a customer service representative and fill out the EATS form. After six months, EATS participants receive an email or phone call reminding them to renew in the store, by e-mail or USPS by the first of the month. Simply print the form from your renewal email and return with a PDF of your qualifying documents. We also accept paper copies through the regular mail. Sorry, no retroactive discounts on purchases made if the discount expires.
