A few weeks ago, we had a great example of members making decisions together!

It was the morning of one of our school co-ops. A woman approached the co-op, asking about receiving free food. The co-op coordinator got more information and realized this woman wasn’t associated with the school, which made her ineligible to join that particular co-op. While she was given information on how to join another co-op, she was left without food in the moment, when she needed it. The co-op members had a choice. They came together in discussion and together decided to share their food with this stranger. These co-op members, who are part of co-op because they face food insecurity, decided to give, and share what they had with their neighbor in need. What a beautiful example of human spirit. This is why we run food co-ops.
