“We challenge the traditional food system by building a community and worker-owned asset that
nourishes, employs, and reinvests in the local community.” (Mission statement of the Dorchester Community Food Co-op.)
The website further explains: The Co-op envisions a diverse inclusive community with opportunities for employment, ownership, and access to healthy food. As a food co-op, we will serve and reflect the wide variety of cultural, racial, and socio-economic groups that make up the neighborhoods of Boston.
The Co-op is building its membership, as they expect to open at the corner of Bowdoin and Topliff Streets in Dorchester in 2022. The 1100 current members have set a goal of 1150 by the end of November. Become a member of the new Dorchester Community Food Co-op and support their mission.
Membership is $100, payable as one full payment, or smaller payments during the year. To learn more and join/donate, visit:
