What’s a Co-op?

A cooperative (also co-operative; often referred to as a co-op) is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit.

How Does It Work?

  • Households make a small investment of $100 to become member-owners of the Dorchester Community Food Co-op. (this membership equity is a one-time purchase, and can be paid over time)
  • Every member has one vote.
  • Every member can run for the Board of Directors.
  • The store will be open for all to shop.
