Founding Owner Goal
​1000!


Become an owner now! 
We can build this store together!
Our food co-op needs you!
Now is the time to join this dynamic group of visionaries and become a founding owner of the Grand Rapids Food Co-op Initiative. To build a 10,000 square foot store we must have at least 1,000 owners join the co-op. Your involvement will help make the co-op a reality!

Your share matters!
​
A one-time equity share is $250 per household.  Invest in the co-op by paying your equity share all at once, or pay over 10 months by sending $25 each month (plus a $1-per-month transaction fee). We also offer a Food For All share amount of $25 to enable any household to become an owner. We also offer scholarships to those who need the financial support to become an owner. 
You Can Attend an Outreach Circle Meeting!
​Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month from 7-8:30 pm, on Zoom. Email grfci.info@gmail.com for the link. All are welcome, co-op owners and those who are interested in knowing more about us.

Want to get involved but not available on Wednesdays? Please fill out one of the forms below and we'll be in touch. 
You can also like us on Facebook and share our news with your friends and family. ​

Too busy to get involved? You can still become an owner and show your support for a food co-op in Grand Rapids!
