Working Membership

Volunteering at the Co-op as a working member is optional, but we encourage everyone to give it a try. Members who work develop relationships with the community, staff, farmers, and vendors and help make the Co-op a better place.

Working members receive all the benefits of membership plus an additional 5% off all purchases.

Every new member is signed up as a working member for the first four months of membership and can immediately take advantage of the 5% discount.

Annual Work Requirement

  • Six hours per person per household for anyone over 16 years old.
  • Any eligible person in your household can fulfill your total hours.
  • When you join, we ask that your work hours be fulfilled within your first four months of membership. If that's an issue, please contact the membership office to make alternate arrangements.

We offer a wide variety of jobs for cooperators:

  • Stock grocery items, produce, and dairy
  • Package food in the deli and other departments
  • Unload deliveries
  • Work at the Weavers Way farms
  • Assist the Membership Department
  • Proofread or write for the Shuttle
  • Work with one of our partner organizations or at a community event
