3% Thursday for Just Food
Thursday, November 13 we’re donating 3% of Lawrence sales to Just Food to help fill the gap left by paused SNAP benefits. At The Merc Co+op, we believe everyone deserves fresh, nutritious food. And we know that SNAP and other government assistance programs may be inaccessible or reduced on or after November 1. For those who rely on these programs to access groceries, even a short disruption can mean difficult choices about food, bills, and other essentials.

On June 30, we notified the Unified Government of Kansas City, Kansas of our intent to terminate our operating agreement at 501 Minnesota Avenue. Our Kansas City, Kansas location will close December 30, 2025. This decision is based on what’s best for the long-term viability of the co-op and the location’s financial performance.
