Each time you check out, you have the option to round your total up to the next dollar, or give another amount if you choose. Those donations go directly to that month’s featured nonprofit. Participation is always optional, and every gift, no matter the size, helps create local impact. Just let the cashier know, “I’d like to Round It Up!”.
As a community-owned co-op, we believe in caring for more than just what’s in your grocery cart. Round It Up is one more way we can support the people, programs, and organizations that help our community thrive. By working together, small everyday actions can grow into meaningful support for our neighbors.
Pacem in Terris
Peace is found at Pacem in Terris Hermitage Retreat Center. Serving our community for 38 years and nestled amongst 240 acres of prairie, woods and lake in Isanti, Minnesota, their retreat center invites people of all walks of life and faiths into stillness and solitude with God in your personal prayer cabin. In these self-directed retreats, Pacem in Terris provides a space to reflect, reconnect, and take a break from a busy world. Your donations will go to scholarships to offset the cost of a night stay for those experiencing financial hardships, as well as continued facility improvements.

Every Round It Up donation stays local.
Funds support nonprofit organizations serving our surrounding communities, including Isanti, Chisago, Pine, Kanabec, and Mille Lacs counties.
Each month, one selected organization receives the collected donations—helping support programs that strengthen our communities in areas like food access, wellness, education, and environmental care.
Round It Up is guided by a formal program charter to ensure the process is fair, transparent, and rooted in community values.
Organizations selected for the program must:
To keep the program welcoming for everyone, participating organizations do not engage in partisan political activity, and Round It Up funds are not used for religious outreach.
We apply the same standards to every organization—no exceptions—so the program remains consistent and trusted year after year.
Round It Up is powered by our community from nominations to final selection. Each year, we follow a thoughtful, transparent process to ensure the organizations we support are making a meaningful local impact.
Each July, we invite our community to nominate nonprofit organizations doing great work locally.
City Center Market owners vote to select the final group of nonprofits for the upcoming year.
