Manchester Food Co-op

Manchester Food Co-op Grassroots movement to bring a Food Co-op to Manchester. Become a member-owner today at our website!

Website: http://www.manchesterfood.coop

What: A cooperative is a business voluntarily owned and controlled by the people (all inclusive) who use it to meet a mutual need; to sell affordably priced locally grown, mostly organic and unprocessed food. Who: People like you and me who seek alternate healthier food choices than what is available at mega

markets filled with products from farm factories and food processing corporations. Where: Greater Manchester

How: Developing a food co-op is a grassroots effort by a cadre of devoted volunteers, who are supported and advised by experts in the field, other cooperatives and community leaders
(see below for brief history). When: The amount of time really depends on the passion and dedication of its volunteers. The development phase is very rewarding to its participants as it establishes community and a cooperative spirit among its members.

Last Wednesday was a pretty exciting day! Going through my mail I found a letter from our co-op, which I assumed was the latest coupon book or maybe a notice of a member-owner special deal. I thought about tossing it aside and reading it later but I am glad I opened it right away—it was …

The goal was not met - and we have lost the opportunity for the Harvest Market location. While we - as a board - are very bummed (to put it lightly) we will press on and work our way towards another option. More information from the board will be emailed to all members within the next few days about next steps and what happens now. For those of you who have made investments and shown us your support THANK YOU!! We will be contacting you about refunds and options. Memberships will not be refunded as that money raised will continue to be used towards finding another option/location to open our Co-op. To get involved and volunteer as a board member or volunteer to help identify next opportunities for locations please contact us at [email protected]. We can't continue without more member support and help. More information to come.

One day to reach the goal! Let's pray for a miracle! If you would like to invest $500,000 let us know!! We are not very optimistic - and we are pretty bummed that this location didn't work out - it would have been PERFECT to launch a successful and PROFITABLE Food Co-op for our community . The board will be meeting soon to discuss what the future looks like and will be in touch with a member update as soon as we are ready. For all those who have made investments, we will be contacting you with information about receiving your refund. Memberships will not be refunded. Unless some magic happens in the next 24 hours - we are throwing in the towel!

The clock is TICKING!! We are running out of time to meet minimum goals of $750,000 in investments from our members to open our store this fall. There is NO extension to this deadline - it's now or never (or at least for a long long time) before we will have another opportunity. We have until 5pm on Friday this week to reach the goal. Email Heather at [email protected] to get any last minute investments in. We will return all investments (not memberships) if we do not reach the goal.

Our SEPTEMBER 30th deadline is THIS WEEK! These past few months have FLOWN BY and we are so excited at the opportunity to have OUR CO-OP open by the end of the year!

In order to do that, we need YOU to get those investments IN! We've heard from so many of our members and we know that not everyone can afford to invest, but most of us CAN! We need those last few investors looking to put their $5,000, $10,000, or even $20,000 in so that we can secure our co-op!

Investment information can be found at http://www.manchesterfood.coop/

It has been a LONG road to get our co-op open and we can't wait until the day that we can stand in front of our new store and cut that red ribbon!

DON'T WAIT! All investments must made by THIS THURSDAY! Contact Heather at [email protected] to make your investments today!

**If we do not reach our minimum investment goal by September 30th, all investments will be returned to investors.

Let's get those investments in! Our co-op is waiting!

As we quickly approach our September 30th deadline to reach our minimum Capital Investment Campaign goal of $750,000 we thought we should take a moment and reflect on the mission of our Co-op as a reminder for WHY it is so important for our community to have this amazing shopping location for fresh and local products.

Enjoy this video of Heather your Board President and Carla your Board Secretary as they read and discuss our mission from our Member Meeting that took place on September 8th.
