Owners, shoppers, and community members are welcome to join us as we celebrate 55 years of local food and community connections. There will be music, activities, food, drinks, and—of course—cake!

Business Meeting
The Annual Whole Foods Co-op Business Meeting will be at 5 p.m., followed by a Listening Session for the co-op's Good and Welfare.

A voting station for our Annual Election will be set up for the entirety of the event, and we’ll have someone available to answer questions on voting (and help look up Owner numbers!).
