Co-op news, north and south
Two upcoming events to drum up interest and membership in food co-ops in Kensington and South Philly.
Co-op news, north and south
Kensington and South Philly both have food co-ops in the works from groups aiming to expand food options and availability in their neighborhoods. Of course, member-supported and -run groceries need more than just retail space: they need members! A couple of upcoming events—both dangling the promise of free pizza, like a dorm RA trying to get freshmen to show up to a floor meeting—aim to teach you more and sign you up.
First up, Pizza Brain and Little Baby's (2311-2313 Frankford Ave.) are joining up with Kensington Food Co-op tomorrow, Nov. 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. Narragansett will be pouring beer, you can score a slice and a scoop for just $5, and of course you'll learn everything you could possibly want to know about the planned co-op. Anyone who signs up on the spot will get a free pizza from Pizza Brain. (You can RSVP for the event on Facebook or by emailing amyryllis@gmail.com.)
Next, Nomad Pizza (611 S. 7th St.) is hosting South Philly Food Co-op this Wednesday, Nov. 14, for pizza and a movie. Starting at 7 p.m., the night features a free screening of the anti-fracking doc Dear Governer Cuomo. The Co-op folks will be on hand to answer all of your questions, and Nomad is offering a free margherita pizza to anyone who signs up that evening.
