We value and seek to build our cooperative community of members, shoppers and staff. We also embrace the diverse community where we are located and support and align ourselves with the global cooperative community. We work in partnership with other organizations both locally and nationally on issues related to our neighborhood, health, nutrition, the environment and cooperatives.
