People's Food Co-op To Get New Home

The Food Co-op at 722 Packard near State has grown to include far more people I than can possibly cram into their relatively small quarters. Given that the co-op continues to expand regularly, it has decided to move to a bigger place in order to serve more people more efficiently.

If you've never been to the Co-op in these days of skyrocketing food and everything else prices, check it out Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays through Saturdays f rom 10am to 6pm. They feature natural cheeses, peanut butter, nuts, flours, herbs, juices and a variety of other staple items. All at basically lower than anywhere else prices, especially if you contribute occasional work to the cooperative, in which case you get a further discount.

We expect to have word on the new Co-op location by the next issue, along with an appeal to help raise funds for the down-payment on the new building. In the meantime, the Co-op is selling membership cards for $5 a throw to help finance its relocation.
