Food for People, not for Profit
We now have bulk laundry detergent from A Sustainable Village, another zero-waste, refill store in Greenwich Village. The detergent is made in NYC, package-free, gentle on clothes, and only $4.80/lb. Bring your own container and try it out!
Dish soap also coming soon 🙂
If you don’t know what these are…. Come try them!
Nam Dok Mai mangoes are a Thai variety. Sweet, juicy, low-acid, aromatic with hints of vanilla and lemon. Grown in Mexico.
Great to meet many working members last month to discuss how the coop works and how we can improve things going forward. Ordering, signage, communication, outreach… Please get in touch at drygoods@4thstreetfoodcoop.org if you want to be more involved in the coop’s back-of-the-house operations.
The meeting takes place at Many Hands Workshop from 5-8pm
Come meet your fellow coop working members, hear from our board and working groups (Communications, Dry Goods, Produce, Membership, Scheduling, Accounting & Finance), and become more engaged in the coop.
If you are not a working member but interested in learning about the coop and/or becoming more involved, you are welcome as well!
The coop celebrates Bike Month in May! Members of cycling advocacy organizations (such as Transportation Alternatives, WE Bike, Time’s Up, Recycle-a-Bicycle, etc.), and people arriving on bikes, trikes, unicycles, rollerblades, skates, or skateboards (not electric) will receive an 8% discount* at the 4th Street Food Coop until May 31, 2026.
Come try our zero-waste, vegan, cruelty-free toothpaste tablets from The Humble Company and Un-Paste! Fluoride-free and fluoride options available. $10.20 for 125 tablets. And if shoppers like them we will be offering bulk/refill options!
Despite the rain, Coop members volunteered last Sunday (4/19) at Union Square to celebrate Earth Day, along with many other organizations committed to sustainability. If you visited our table during the event, come enjoy your 5% discount at the coop until the end of the month!
We played “How many beans are in that jar?” and a third-party young referee made sure the count of beans was accurate (see the little piles of beans on the table on the picture).
We will be holding a table from 12pm-6pm on Sunday, April 19, at Union Square, to celebrate Earth Day along with many organizations working for a more sustainable future. Spread the word and come visit us!
New visitors that shop at the Coop before the end of the month of April will get a 5% discount (not added to other discounts).
If you are a coop member and would like to volunteer on Earth Day, please contact adminwg@mail.mayfirst.org or Marie Mourad or Sara Hyman (see contact information on Shiftr). Thank you for your help!!
