Cooperation Town co-ops are small buying groups, providing their members with free and affordable groceries, sourced in bulk and distributed at a very low price.
Cooperation Town food co-ops are owned by their members and run according to local needs. Members decide collectively on how to organise and are responsible for the day to day running of the co-op.
While each Cooperation Town co-op is independent, the network is designed to share resources and support across the movement. Our vision is for a food co-op on every street in every town!
What we love about them:
They are based on solidarity, not charity. They are the most affordable – and sociable! – way to get food.

Our partners in Plymouth are looking for a co-op organiser who will support residents to develop a local network of community food co-ops. If you live in the area & have an interest in community organising, get in touch with @foodplymouth. Pls share. https://t.co/8N7uaKNfU7
Our friends at @PEACH_E16 are supporting residents to organise around the future of their neighbourhood. They need your help. What happens to communities in east London will eventually affect us all, wherever we live. Get involved today. https://t.co/26f70mMdAy
This is why we insist on 'solidarity, not charity'. Members of @CooperationTown food co-ops will decide what's best for their community, based on their needs and organised on their own terms. They don't have to depend on the good will of strangers. https://t.co/6IN1xPphFc
