Co-op Mission & Values

As a result of all that we do:

1

The Co-op will advance toward opening of a cooperative grocery store in an orderly and expeditious fashion.

2

Our community will be strengthened by working cooperatively to improve access to healthy food.

3

Our community will be empowered to make better food choices through education and availability of purchasing options that support local farms, the local economy, and a healthier diet.

4

Our operations and policies will aim to value, protect, and restore the local environment and our agricultural heritage.

5

Our community will have a better understanding of the cooperative business model and the benefits it provides.

6

There will be more quality food available to those in need.

7

We will build a welcoming culture that values diversity, openness, inclusiveness and respect in all that we do.

West Chester Cooperative will be a community-owned grocery store—that means if you join, you own it!

Own it!
