Round - Up
At Hampden Park Co-op, shoppers are invited to round up their purchase at the register. Each month, those Round Up donations are given to a local nonprofit, community organization, or co-op project that supports causes connected to our values, such as sustainability, environmental care, food access, equity, creativity, and the well-being of our local community.
September Round-Up goes to Jennings Community School!
Our September Community Round Up will benefit Jennings Community School, a local St. Paul charter school located just down University Avenue from Hampden Park Co-op.
Jennings provides a personalized, student-centered learning environment for students in grades 7–12. The school focuses on building strong relationships, supporting each student’s individual interests and needs, and connecting learning to real-world experiences. Through project-based learning, community involvement, service learning, travel, and work-based experiences, Jennings helps students grow academically while developing the skills and confidence they need beyond the classroom.
A central part of Jennings’ approach is making sure students feel known and supported. With a 15-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio and an advisory program that gives students regular one-on-one guidance, the school works to create an environment where students who may not have thrived in a traditional school setting can succeed.
