Seward Community Co-op Jobs

Seward Community Co-op Overview

Cooperatives are member-owned, member-governed businesses that operate for the benefit of their members according to common principles agreed upon by the international cooperative community. In co-ops, members pool resources to bring about economic results that are unattainable by one person alone. Regardless of the goods and services provided, co-ops aim to meet their members needs. Most food co-ops are consumer cooperatives, meaning that our retail co-op is owned by the people who shop here. Members exercise their ownership by patronizing the store and voting in elections. The members elect ...a board of directors to hire, guide and evaluate the general manager who runs day to day operations, and in turn hires the rest of the staff. Seward Co-op holds a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair each spring, with hundreds of people gathering to meet local farmers. Purchasing a CSA share helps cover a farm's yearly operating expenses and connects consumers to the bounty and risk that farmers take in growing healthful, local food. Through Seward Co-op's SEED program, co-op customers can donate to a different recipient every month by choosing to "round up" their purchases at the register. SEED raised more than $500,000 for local organizations since 2012, thanks to customer donations. Seward Co-op was selected "Best Natural Foods Grocery" by local publication City Pages in 2013, 2012 and 2010. Interested in employment opportunities? www.seward.coop/careers More
