WHAT’S NEXT?

There’s a lot to do to open a co-op grocery store. We have an organized To-Do list of tasks we need to complete to get there, and have already accomplished some important initial steps:

• We have become a legal entity (incorporated)
• We have a purposeful mission and vision for the co-op
• We have corporate bylaws
• We have recruited dedicated volunteers
• We have secured grant funding to support the important organizing stage of co-op development
• We have recruited 260+ member-owners
• We have a hard-working, member-elected Board of Directors

Getting the word out and recruiting more member-owners is at the top of our To-Do list.

We need to see support from the community, people just like you, through member-ownership to get us to the next stage of cooperative development. I As we move forward we will be spreading the word about the Androscoggin Food Co-op in the local media, at local meetings (as COVID allows), and in your neighborhood.

Look for us and ask us, “What’s this I hear about a co-op?” Learn how you can become a member-owner. Join us in making it possible!
