Membership Benefits: Why Join the Upper Valley Food Co-op?
The heart and soul of any co-op is its members. Without members, the co-op would not exist. There are plenty of benefits to membership.
- All of us get a store! We all get a non-profit, democratically-run store. Unlike a conventional grocery store, our primary mission is to serve our shoppers, not profit at their expense. All the things you like about this store exist only because we invest the money to create it.
