Eastside’s 2024 Owner Drive
You can own this place! Our 2024 Owner Drive is happening throughout the month of January, and we aim to bring in 250 new owners. As a cooperative, our shoppers are also our owners: folks like you who care about where your food comes from and how it’s grown. Eastside ownership benefits you, your budget, local farmers and producers, our employees, and the Northeast community. So, join us now and enhance your shopping experience while making a meaningful impact in your community!
Why become an owner of Eastside Food Co-op?
🥕 Co-op ownership keeps dollars in your pocket and our community! Ownership is a great way to “vote with your dollar” for a better food system while saving money through special owner deals!
🥕 Want a voice in decisions that shape the future of Eastside? Fully paid-in owners can vote in Eastside’s annual election and even run for the Board of Directors!
🥕 New year, new you! Eastside owners save on classes and events! Sign up for classes at Eastside and learn practical skills, share experiences, and build community!
Why sign up during our owner drive?
🥕 Eastside will donate $10 to the International Institute of Minnesota for each new owner signed up in January. The institute offers quality services to support New Americans on their journey to stability and success.
🥕 Owners can refer a friend for a chance to win Eastside gift cards! New owners can enter the friend who referred them by writing that person’s name in the “How did you find out about ownership at Eastside” field on their application. The owner who made the referral will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win Eastside cards of varying denominations. Eastside Employees are not eligible for this raffle.
🥕 We will have an exclusive Eastside Owner event at FairState on February 18th. Your first drink is on us! Food and entertainment will also be provided. This event is an excellent opportunity for owners, old and new, to engage with the Eastside community!
Don’t miss out on the benefits of ownership! You can get in on all these fun Owner Drive perks by signing up in January at Customer Service!
