Local Purchasing
Save More. Buy Local. Strengthen Our Community
Through the Montgomery County Shared Resources Collaborative, child-care providers gain exclusive access to the Community Purchasing Alliance Co-op (CPA)—a social-purpose cooperative that pools the buying power of nonprofits, schools, and community institutions.
CPA negotiates competitive rates and protective terms on essential operations and facilities services - think janitorial, food service, insurance, and more—while prioritizing local, BIPOC-owned, and woman-owned vendors.
The result: lower costs for you and stronger small businesses for Montgomery County.
