Delridge Grocery Coop is a small start-up grocery store planning to open in the spring of 2020 in the Youngstown neighborhood on Delridge. The neighborhood is classified as a “Food Desert” by the federal government with no walkable access to a major grocery store and no close, easy or direct bus service to a supermarket The mission of Delridge Grocery Coop is to leverage the retail space to connect food and people through education and greater access to healthy, affordable food. Our goal is to be seen by others as a stable and valuable resource in the community that reflects the heart of Delridge.
Delridge Grocery Coop has over 500 Member-Owners and many neighbors who are eagerly waiting for the day the coop’s doors will open to the public. To make this possible, a small group of coop volunteers are fund raising for operating capital. There are many national and local grants available and we need help in identifying which grants we may qualify for.
