An introduction to all things Olympia Food Co-op
About this Event

Are you a new Co-op member who wants to know their way around the Co-op better? Have you always wanted to shop at the Co-op, but feel a little unsure of how we do things? Do you know nothing about the Co-op, but are curious? Have you been shopping at the Co-op forever and feel like you have a lot of wisdom to impart to new shoppers? Everybody is welcome! If the store's not too busy, the class may include a store tour.

Learn how shopping in our bulk foods and spices aisles can save you money. Learn how to shop to reduce packaging. Learn how ordering your favorite items in cases can give you a significant discount. Learn more about our working member program, our board of directors and values-driven, collectively-managed, not for profit business. Learn more about collectives and the consensus process. Ask questions, share knowledge.

Come check out our new Annex, the house directly across the street from the Eastside Co-op. This class is free!

Kate Tossey and Mardi Halvorsen are staff members who began working at the coop as working members, and now are often found cashiering at the east side store.
