Support the co-op by becoming a working or non-working member. We offer different types of memberships that will entitle you to a discount when you shop with us.
Working Members
Interested in working a Weekly Shift?
Please fill out our New Member Availability Survey here. We invite people in for working member orientations based on availability to work our highest priority open shifts. Check your SPAM filter for e-mails from Scheduling, as our messages often get flagged by mistake. You may not hear back from us for a few weeks/months; please be patient. Feel free to fill the form again if your availability changes, and to join as a Nonworking Member while you wait for an orientation invite!
