Crow Wing Power members have unique opportunities in several Cooperative programs we offer.
Commitment to Community Award Program: 2011 marked the ninth year of our Commitment to Community Award program. Last fall, the Cuyuna chapter of the Minnesota Off Road Cyclists (MORC) was awarded a $500 gift and a plaque as the number one local organization applying for the award.
Each year about 20 sister cooperatives offer the same program and local winners are entered into a state-wide pool. The ultimate state-wide winner receives an additional $1,000. Local winners will be eligible for the state-wide competition.
Co-op Connections Member Discount Program: Each of our members is given free Co-op Connections cards and key-fobs to use at over 130 local businesses to receive valuable discounts, including pharmacy discounts at most local drug stores. Simply show your card at participating businesses. The program works well in that it encourages people to shop locally and helps not only the residential members, but our business members as well.More...

Members also have the option of joining the Co-op Cookin' Club! If you'd like to receive actual recipe cards each month (12 times a year) all you need to do is sign up. More...
