Our cooperative relies on all of us chipping in. By volunteering and coming in and shopping, you help us stay strong. We would super appreciate any help you can give - an hour here or there is a huge, huge help! Come by anytime and someone will be there to get you onto a project. (You can sign up on our volunteer roster on the front counter or just show up! There is always something that needs to be done ;)).
