Co-ops are often considered a thing of the past. When you think about co-ops, you often travel back to a friendlier time, picturing tight chains of small businesses, intentional communities and community gardens of a past generation.
In the late 1960s and 1970s, the “new wave” of consumer co-ops began. Born out of the ideas and philosophies of the 1960s counterculture, these stores were opened by young and idealistic members. They set up co-ops to fit their beliefs in equality, not to follow their co-op predecessors.

No, my friends. Co-ops didn’t die out with the idealistic values of the 60s and 70s. Co-ops are the future. Co-ops are now!
Denise Brown, founder and fearless boss at Caregiving.com shared with us trends and predictions that affect our lives in her presentation, The Future of Caregiving at the National Caregiving Conference this past November. One of the predictions she made was that that co-ops are the future. Companies who understand their customers will be a community rather than an individual will win.
Denise has created a powerful opportunity for us to pool our numbers in order to get the best pricing possible on products and services you may need. In addition, we get to make our voices heard by sharing our expertise about products we’d recommend. The co-op creates a platform for our voices to be heard, and not only that, we’re also receiving reimbursement for our VALUABLE time and expertise.
NOW, for a limited time only, you can enjoy an introductory rate of $29.95 for a one-year membership in our new co-op. The price will increase on January 15.
As a member of our co-op, you’ll be able to:
- Become a CareGiving.com affiliate so you can earn as you share about our products and training programs. You earn 10% commission on all sales you generate, including memberships to our co-op and enrollments in our training program.
- Get VIP Access to the Caregiving Happiness Project with monthly video chat.
- Share equipment and supplies you no longer need with other co-op members.

At the National Caregiving Conference, focus group participants were offered a $20 gift card for an hour of their time.
- Receive special pricing on products and services.
