Join the Richmond Food Co-op
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013
The Richmond Food Co-op is a member-owned, full service grocery providing affordable, local, sustainable and healthy food options.
The store, planned for Scotts Addition, will provide food products from local suppliers who use environmentally and socially responsible practices and access to organic and local crops at often lower prices because of bulk purchases. The co-op store will be open to the public. Members receive discounted prices.
Members become part owners of the store and share in the profits. Memberships begin at $150 a year per adult, with deductions for larger households. There’s a $25 joining fee per household for members. Participants in SNAP/EBT, WIC, SSI, Medicaid, Family Health Plus, Section 8 Housing, and Advantage programs can join for $15.
