SOUTH PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — To serve the South Philadelphia community, this local grocery store is walkable, and owned by the people who make the neighborhood special.<\/p>\n

“South Philly Food Co-op” was the project that took a decade to get off the ground.<\/p>\n

Ever since opening in 2020, they have provided a space where the neighbors of the community can provide a fresh food resource.<\/p>\n

Part of their motto is “using food as a force for good,” which they put on display in initiatives such as their October Equity Drive, helping people become members.<\/p>\n

Becoming a member allows them to have a voice in their community grocery store to further improve its operations.<\/p>\n

Its ownership by local neighborhood members is hyper focused on caring for the community that they know so well.<\/p>\n
