Who we are?

Why a Co-Op?

The steering committee is a multi-racial, multi-generational, multi-talented group of about 25 community members.

A grocery store owned by the community can prioritize and pursue our goals of: affordability, community engagement, and community wealth building.

- Purchasing fresh, nutritious, and affordable meats and produce
- Partnering with the National Co-op of Grocers (NCG) for the power to keep prices affordable
- Gaining knowledge from the network of co-op grocers to subsidize local producers and keep costs low
- Utilizing public benefits like SNAP, WIC, and TANF
- Engaging with co-op customers, employees, and suppliers for the opportunity to be member-owners
- Sourcing a mixture of conventional foods from NCG and local partnerships to meet community needs
- Hosting health education with local nonprofits, organizations, and businesses to bolster collective knowledge around food justice
- Prioritizing a membership that provides perks, discounts, and profits directly back to the community
- Creating job opportunities, skills training, and growth opportunities
- Strengthening the local economy
