Feeding Our Community

One of the 7 Cooperative Principles that all co-ops adhere to is “Concern for Community”. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the number of people experiencing food insecurity has gone up exponentially.

Over the past year, our Outreach Coordinator, Lori Friedli has been focusing on collecting our edible food waste and donating it to organizations that serve people in need. Since she’s taken on this responsibility, she has been able to spot opportunities for donation that would have otherwise been thrown away.
