Weavers Way Co-op belongs to its members and so we are guided by the will of the members, right? Sounds pretty easy, other than the fact that we have nearly 5,300 active member households to accommodate. But not so fast, it’s not just the members who have to be pleased. There are numerous other guidelines that must be met by our once-tiny community store.

WWCP partnered with Martin Luther King High School in 2014 to teach life skills related to urban farming and nutrition to students with intellectual disabilities and autism. Students take part in lessons related to planting, caring for, and identifying plants; use small gardening tools; and learn new skills that will prepare them for life beyond high school.
