Support Us at the Farmers Market

EVERY Saturday at the Park Forest Farmers Maket your fellow oweners/members have donated their time to help the South Suburban Food Coop. We are selling local organic produce there and can still use some additional help. Contact Emily Theil if you can make YOUR coop a success.


Our next board meeting will be Tues. September 9th.

Did you know being a board member and attending the monthly meeting meets the co-op's work requirement for that month? Become a board member or participate on a committiee.

Also, we always have member's forum time during the begining of each board meeting. Come to the co-op at 7:30 p.m. and let us know what you would like from YOUR co-op.
