Co-op work hours are optional, but working members are deeply important to the Co-op. Members who work develop relationships with the community, staff, farmers and vendors, and help to make the Co-op a better place.
Working members receive all of the benefits of membership plus an additional 5% off all grocery purchases.
Annual Work Requirement
- Six hours for each person over age 16 in a household.
- If you spend $100 a week, you can expect to save $260 every year — for a household with two adults, that averages out to $21.67 per work hour.
