As a local, community-owned grocery co-operative, we're committed to promoting food equality and accessibility in our community. We believe that everyone should have access to an inclusive and welcoming store, where they can shop for healthy, nutritious, quality food and products, regardless of their income.
That's why in 2018 we became an industry pioneer by launching our Low-Income Membership Program (LIMe for short) for members of our community needing additional assistance.
To help make shopping at the Co-op more accessible, LIMe Members receive a 15% discount on their purchases every day. To date, we have more than 250 individuals and families benefiting from our LIMe Program!
In addition to providing access to healthy, nutritious food and products, we are also committed to breaking down the income barrier to full ownership and participation in the community co-op.
That's why we're excited to announce some big changes to our LIMe Program with the introduction of LIMe+, a LIMe membership with the added benefits of full co-op ownership.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Fund for Democratic Communities, we're able to offer a fully paid equity share to any LIMe Member who opts to accept the benefit. That's a $100 value that extends all the lifetime benefits of a full-share equity ownership to all LIMe Members, current or future.
Current/active LIMe Members just need to click the button below to complete the online opt-in form and accept the fully-funded ownership share. That's it, we'll handle the rest from there! You'll need to continue to qualify and pay your $15 annual membership fee to continue to receive the LIMe discount, but you will remain a co-op owner for life, regardless of LIMe membership.
If you are not currently a LIMe member, or your LIMe membership has expired, you will need to come into the store to complete an application, provide proof of program qualification (active EBT card), and pay your $15 annual fee.
