Giving Back

Community Involvement

The people who make up Centerra Co-Op believe in giving back to their communities. Our employees are involved in their churches, youth sports, 4-H, FFA, Scouting, community gardens, school PTOs, child and elderly advocacy groups, humane and animal rescue organizations, local government, county fairs and much, much more. Centerra Co-Op shares this ethos with its employees and not only encourages their participation in these activities and organizations, but also sponsors and supports various charity events and non-profits itself. To date, Centerra has donated more than $200,000 to benefit cancer research through the James Cancer Hospital Solove Research Institute.

Fueling the Cure was created with the hope of finding a common goal for agricultural cooperatives to work “cooperatively” together to better their communities through the support of cancer research. By donating $1 per delivery stop of bulk propane, this organization has raised more than $1.5 million to promote cancer research and prevention. Centerra Co-Op also hosts an annual golf outing to benefit Fueling the Cure. In 2023, the event will take place at The Pines Golf Club in Orrville, Ohio on Friday, July 28.

United Way has a unique and critical role in Ashland County. To put it simply, United Way is not about one cause or issue. It is about empowering a community to work together to provide local solutions to local social challenges. Join us in a journey…a journey that envisions Ashland County as a place where The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched…They must be touched with your Hearts! – a place that especially fosters hope and opportunity for everyone. Every day United Way is recruiting people and organizations from all across Ashland County who bring the passion, expertise and resources to get things done.

In 2019, Centerra Co-op partnered with Purina Mills and other agricultural companies to form a trail ride to support OSU James Cancer Hospital and A Home for Every Horse. In 2022, we chose a new beneficiary. Spur for the Cure took place on Saturday, August 27, at Camp Manatoc in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Park. All proceeds went directly to Akron Children’s Hospital.

Information for our 2023 event will be available after the first of the year. Registration costs $50 per rider and includes your choice of an in-person trail ride or participation in a virtual trail ride, gifts valued at more than $100, lunch and a chance to win some great prizes! There will also be raffles and a silent auction the day of the event.
