Food Co-op 101: Learn About Community-Owned Grocery Stores


Friendly City Food Co-op

This free class offers an introduction to food co-ops, explaining how cooperatives work and what it means to be part of a community-owned grocery store. The Marketing & Events Manager, Mackenzie Jenkins, will lead a store tour highlighting the co-op’s products, values, and mission.

After the tour, attendees can enjoy snacks from the co-op and connect with others interested in good food and local community. Whether a longtime shopper, a new Owner, or simply curious, this class is a great opportunity to learn and get involved.

Registration is free but encouraged via the co-op’s website to help plan for refreshments.
