Capital Campaign

Help us buy the building we’ve filled for fourteen years.

After 14 years of leasing, we have the chance to own our home on Placerville Dr. We need $140,000 to secure the deal. We’re already more than halfway there — and every rounded-up register transaction gets us closer.

A grocery store owned by your friends and neighbors.

When we say “community-owned,” we mean that more than 2,500 members of our community have an equity share in the Co-op. Placerville Food Co-op isn’t owned by one single individual. It’s owned by your community — members, friends, and neighbors.

Our shelves carry organic produce, raw milk, organic and grass-fed meats, gluten-free and specialty pantry, bulk grains and nuts, kombucha and local cider, wellness and body-care. Come visit us. Try the deli. Walk out knowing the money stayed home.
