Co-op

What Is the Love In Action Co-op?

A membership-based cooperative offering a food market, a gathering place, and optional personal development classes for those who qualify.

The Food Market 

Co-op members are given points, based on their household size, to redeem for groceries at the market, and can shop as often as they like each month until all points are used. Meats, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, shelf-stable food, and some non-food items will all be available at the market. 

Co-op members should expect their monthly membership to assist with at least one week’s worth of groceries a month if all points are used. 

The THRIVE Community 

THRIVE classes include budgeting, as well as cooking and nutrition. One-on-one coaching is also available to those who complete the budgeting class. Co-op membership dues are covered while participating in THRIVE classes. 

The Gathering Place 

A place to gather! Everyone is welcome!  Whether you need a break and a cup of coffee, access to a computer and printer, or a place to meet a friend or make a new friend, this is the place for you! The Gathering Place is open during Co-op business hours.
