On the Path to Opening our Co-op
We’ve raised:
If every owner and interested community member helps out – some who can contribute $100, some who can contribute $50,000, and everyone in between – then we can quickly reach our goal.
Let’s get Wild Onion Market open as soon in 2024 as possible. Make your contribution today!
The Stock The shelves Campaign is the last phase of our Capital Campaign.
