Our annual working members’ general meeting

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.

Coop working members at Many Hands Workshop (May 17, 2026)

@Working Members, please join our general meeting this SUNDAY, MAY 17th

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!

Try our toothpaste tablets!

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!

Happy Earth Day!

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).

Visit the Coop on Earth Day at Union Square

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!!

NEW: Creamline Milk from Strafford Organic Creamery

Strafford Organic Creamery raises a herd of 70 Guernsey cows who graze on grass for 12 hours a day to make a most flavorful and high butterfat milk. The glass bottles are filled at the farm, and it is a rare opportunity to find organic milk bottled in glass! The farm only produces enough milk to sell at co-ops and smaller stores. Available now at the 4th Street Food Co-op.

NEW: Organic Avocado oil in bulk!

Exciting news—we now have Organic Avocado Oil available in bulk for just $13.11/lb! 🥑

Bring your own bottle and try our newly arrived bulk, organic (USDA-certified), expeller-pressed, delicious avocado oil! Avocado oil is great on salads, but also has a high smoke point so it’s good for sautéing, frying, and baking.

To make room for this new addition in our stainless steel dispenser, we’ll be keeping the bulk Apple Cider Vinegar in its jar. If you think you might need a little extra help with filling it up, feel free to do it over the sink. No worries at all—I’d do the same!
