Member-Owners are the foundation of our beloved Co-op. You’re the diehards who keep us going by shopping here, working as staff, serving on the Board or as Hands-On-Owners, voting, spreading the cooperative word, and investing in a sustainable, local economy where everyone is welcome and valued.
This week is all about saying THANK YOU for everything you do to keep the Co-op alive and thriving.
We’ve got a full week of fun, community-centered events. Check out what’s happening and come celebrate with us!
