We’re happy to announce the launch of our member-owner campaign! This is a huge milestone for us and we hope you’ll join us for the next stage of the journey in realizing our vision for the South Philly Food Co-op.
The lifeblood of a co-op is in its membership. Member-owners will get to form the vision for what goods and services the co-op offers because member-owners own the store.
Would you like someone to contact you about becoming a member-owner? We’d be happy to answer your questions. Please send your name and phone number to membership@southphillyfoodcoop.org.
Join Today!
Just fill out this application and bring it, along with your payment, to one of our committee or volunteer meetings, community events, or mail both to:
South Philly Food Co-op
P.O. Box 31506
Philadelphia, PA 19147
Checks should be made out to “South Philly Food Co-op”
To pay via Paypal, use this link and mail your application to the address above OR email a scanned copy to membership@southphillyfoodcoop.org.
Please note: member-owner status will not be granted until the online transaction is completed and verified and your signed application is received. Please use the name, address and email address of the Primary member-owner listed on the application.
Member-Owner Investment
Our membership investment is set at $200. This is not a fee, or a donation. It’s a one-time investment in the store. You can pay in full or installments (details on application). Members who are able to pay off the remainder of their equity up front or at a rate faster than the payment plan are strongly encouraged to do so!
Member Benefits
As a member-owner, right now you are entitled to:
- The opportunity to run and vote for the Board of Directors
- Ability to vote at general membership meetings and petition for policy changes
- Educational classes and workshops
- Discounts at participating local businesses (coming soon!)
When the store opens you will also be entitled to:
- Member-only specials and sales
- A say in the variety of products offered
