When you join the Community Food Co-op, you're not just a member, you're a member/owner. That means not only have you purchased an opportunity to get great products at member prices, you've purchased the Co-op itself! That's right, everything in it—from pickles to shelving, from nuts to light bulbs—is yours. You'll be one of 10,000 owners of the Community Food Co-op, and this sharing brings joy and pleasure as well as responsibility.
Joy comes in the form of being part of a community, and like all communities, there is a great variety as well as a sense of like-mindedness. Communities bring people together and you'll have ample opportunity as a part of this community to make it your own and experience a sense of belonging.
Ownership also brings responsibilities, although you're in control of how much you take on. Options for participation range from simply paying your annual dues, buying your member shares, and supporting the Co-op through your shopping, to participating on committees or running in the election for the Board of Directors.
Whatever your reason for joining the Co-op—for a great
selection of products or because you are deeply committed
to the principles of cooperatives—we welcome you to our
community of member/owners.
