Meridian Enterprise Diversity

Care For

Community

At Meridian Cooperative, we believe in the power of giving back and supporting those who are making a difference. Cooperatives around the world operate according to the same set of core principles and values. These principles are a key reason why we operate differently than other organizations, continuously putting the needs of our Members first. The anchor of these principles is Concern For Community. The Meridian Enterprise supports over 100 different charities through sponsorships and donations to our Members. We also support many charities and causes here locally in our Metro Atlanta community, several of which are highlighted here.
