Thank you to all the members who joined our annual in-person meeting on Sunday! It was great to see the energy coming from a lot of new members as well as the long-term ones.
Lots of great ideas have emerged to improve our co-op and keep being the best (and only!) member-run, open to the public, cooperative, organic, zero-waste, local, vegetarian/vegan, affordable, and welcoming store in the East Village!
As co-operators, it’s safe to say we’re friends of community composting. But recently announced city budget cuts may completely eliminate the NYC Compost Project, Food Scrap Drop-Off Sites, Community Composting, and Outreach for the city’s Curbside Composting / Brown Bin program. Please consider signing this petition to urge NYC’s mayor, sanitation commissioner, and city council to halt the elimination of community compost programs.

Community composting ensures 8.3 million pounds of organic waste are processed locally and diverted from landfill each year, and provides 325+ community groups with thousands of pounds of finished compost to enrich our street trees and green spaces while preventing flooding and erosion. Furthermore, there cannot be a successful Curbside Composting program in New York City without the outreach, education, and support provided by community composters. Thank you for your support!
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, 2023.
