South Philly Food Co-op well on its way

SPFC on Facebook

The South Philly Food Co-op (SPFC), a project that's still in its infancy, is currently looking for investors, potential future members and volunteers to bolster its various committees. The SPFC, which does not yet have a set-in-stone geographic location for the co-op they hope to bring to the area (think Weavers Way, but below Washington Avenue), wants to create a hub for food-centric education and outreach in addition to founding a commercial space providing locally sourced foods. For now, peep the SPFC's website to join the mailing list, get involved or just get more info.

Hi Drew,

Thanks so much for featuring us! We are really excited by the amount of interest and enthusiasm for a food co-op in South Philly.  We will have a table at the East Passyunk Doo Wop Car Show on Sunday if people want to meet us.
