Not sure how to help? We built a little toolkit for you. Just go to your Get Involved page and help your Co-op move forward quicker. More Owners means a shorter timeline to open, so help your Co-op grow!

Did you know...
...that 35% of the U.S. food supply is wasted? And that waste results in annual greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 42 coal-fired power plants.*
Fortunately, YOU are building a solution:
The average recycling rate of food waste in co-ops is 74%, compared to just 36% in conventional grocery stores.
You and your store will be leaders in food waste reduction!
