The Dorchester Community Cooperative is an organization currently being founded by residents of Dorchester, MA and surrounding communities. We are in the process of creating a food co-op.
The Dorchester Community Co-op is committed to:
- Inclusivity: The co-op will celebrate the diversity of our neighborhoods and reach out to the different ethnic groups, age range, and mixed income groups that make up our community.
- Healthy Food: Access to healthy, affordable, and nutritious food is essential to creating a healthy community.
- Building Community: The coop will serve as a dynamic space to bring people together.
- Sustainability: Social, economic and environmental sustainability are the cornerstones of the co-op business model.
- New Economic Model: An economy controlled by its local residents provides stability.
- Youth: Engaging our youth is important for building our future.
- Jobs for our Community: Money spent in our community creates more local jobs and supports the Dorchester community.
If any of these goals appeal to you and are worth support please Get Involved! You can learn more about food cooperatives on the “What’s a Coop?” page, or view our flyer here.
