Concern For Community: The 7th Cooperative Principle in action.
New Pioneer Food Co-op strives to be known as a valued source of natural, organic, local, and specialty foods. We are a democratically governed organization focused on serving our owners and actively supporting community causes that matter to them. To that end we offer a donation program to not only generate publicity for New Pi but disperse product and other resources to non-profit organizations to build goodwill and support for our Mission in the community.
