Help shape what comes next.
The co-op is being built with community input. Take the survey, follow our progress, volunteer in whatever way works for you, or share an idea for the future store’s name.
Four useful ways to take part.
Memberships are not available yet. These are the things that genuinely help while the store plan is taking shape.
Take the community survey.
This first survey asks what you think about creating a community-owned store and about co-op membership. More surveys and conversations will follow.
Read the latest updates.
See completed milestones, current work, leadership notes, and the decisions still ahead.
There is a place to help.
Help at a community event, lend professional or practical experience, or take on a one-time task. You do not need special credentials or an ongoing commitment.
Help name the future store.
Anderson Island Food Co-op is the incorporated name and working title. Share an idea for the store name and identity we will use closer to opening.
Many kinds of help matter.
Almost everything so far has been done by islanders on their own time. Showing up for one community event or one practical task can be as useful as a recurring commitment.
- Table at a community event
- Grocery and retail experience
- Carpentry and store build-out
