The Co-op tabled during La Mama Theater‘s 65th Anniversary block party last month, and we played the game “How many beans are in this jar?”. Adults and children guessed numbers from 23 to more than 10,000 beans. The answer was 359, and the winner guessed 362, only 3 beans away!! They will receive an assortment of products from the Co-op as a prize.

Thank you to all the players and passers-by, and if you haven’t done so, come visit our store! Anyone can shop, and we offer many discounts even for non-members.

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.

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!!
