In the coming weeks, members will be asked to vote on proposed changes to Co-op Membership Policies.

 

What’s Changing and Why

For years, our Co-op has offered a 2 % discount at checkout for Supporting Members. In recent years, we have been operating at a loss, and have had to take a hard look at how we allocate our revenue. Starting in 2026, we propose replacing the automatic discount with a Patronage Dividend Program — a system used by many food co-ops across the country. Instead of a small discount every day, members will receive a share of the Co-op’s annual profits at the end of the year, based on how much they shop. This change helps keep the Co-op healthy, fair, and sustainable — so we can continue serving the community for years to come. Join us for one our info sessions, and bring your questions!
