Co-op Evaluated Core Values and Votes on New Mission Statement in 2023--Now onto the Vision
In 2023, a small group of Co-op supporters, including board members, a staff member, and a Co-op vendor, initiated a process which will result in a revised mission statement for the Co-op as well as a "vision" for the Co-op's future.
After brainstorming and member surveys in Spring 2023, the membership was asked to vote on the new mission statement in September, and the final approval was made at the Annual Meeting this past October (see statement above).
Now we move into the visioning process. Member input is critical at this stage. The vision that comes out of the next few months of work will guide Co-op operations, governance, decision-making, and community involvement for the foreseeable future. Please reach out with any questions or comments here.

The mission of the Cambridge Food Co-op is to foster a resilient community by providing healthy, sustainable food while featuring local producers, all within an inviting and supportive space.
