4th St. Food Co-Op

Overview

Offer bulk dry goods/organic product. offer discounts to members (depends on amount of hours worked) seniors, low income, students, or other co-op members.
History: We began in 1995 as a storefront food cooperative, replacing the Good Food Coop, which began in 1973 as a buying club and became a storefront food cooperative. We evolved into a mostly-organic health food store. We are presently run mostly by unpaid Working Members, some of whom volunteer extra time. We serve the community we live in. We are comprised of a large body of working members and non-working members, and we have a core structure of 9 working-groups responsible for coop administration and maintenance.
