This startup food co-op began organizing in 2018 to bring access to high-quality fresh foods and boost the local food economy in their East Point, GA community. Just as they were gaining momentum, two things happened:  the pandemic hit, and they received a first-draft financial pro forma that didn’t show a sustainable path to opening their grocery store exactly as they’d originally envisioned it. Neither of these intense pressures stopped this innovative startup, who has found multiple ways to directly serve their community now while re-imagining the path to opening their future cooperatively-owned grocery store. 
Join us for our year-end celebration of the stories and impact of startup food co-ops! Sometimes we all need a reminder of how meaningful the work we do is as food cooperators - so heat up a mug of your favorite winter beverage, grab that cozy blanket, and join us for this series! 

This series is FREE to all, but please do register to receive the link to attend the sessions (and reminders, so you don’t forget!) Not sure if you can make it? That’s okay - we encourage you to register anyway so you’ll be the first to get the video recordings afterwards and can enjoy the series on our YouTube channel, at your leisure!
