We have just announced our Location!

We are excited to announce our location for our grocery store! We hope to be part of the Tapestry Square Project being built by the Inner City Christian Federation at the corner of S. Division and Wealthy.
This location meets all of our criteria for a great location in central GR. 
​This is only a potential location because we must grow from our current 150 owners into a co-op of at least 1000 owners by the end of 2019 to meet the construction timeline of ICCF. At this point we do not have a written agreement with them. They are supportive of our efforts to grow our co-op and be a part of their project. 

Now it is up to the community to make this location a reality!
NOW IS THE TIME TO BECOME AN OWNER OF THE GRAND RAPIDS FOOD CO-OP!


We need at least 100 of you to join us each month. So many of you are liking our posts and following us here, now is the time to put your money where your values are. This can't happen without you!

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 a Meeting!
​Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm, at the Fountain Street Church, 24 Fountain St. NE, 49503. We offer volunteer training at this meeting. All are welcome, co-op owners and those who are interested in knowing more about us.

Want to get involved but not available on Tuesdays? 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!
