The Friendly City Food Co-op…

• will be a full-service grocery store on the corner of Wolfe and Mason Streets in downtown Harrisonburg where you can do all of your grocery shopping, 7 days a week, year-round.
• will carry locally produced food as well as nationally-recognized organic, natural and fair trade products.
• is cooperatively owned by anyone who desires to be a founding owner and is 100% community funded!

We have hired our General Manager, Steve Cooke, and surpassed our Member Loan Campaign goal with $673,300! Please know that you are still able to lend. While the goal has been met more loans are needed to offset future cash needs, the more we raise now, the stronger position we’ll be in as the store builds a foothold in the community.

For now, we are in the process of surveying member-ownership, designing the store, recruiting volunteers and increasing membership growth.  Please write or call to help take the Co-op to the next level! contact@friendlycityfoodcoop.com, 540-810-7667.
