Almost a month ago, we let you in on the prospect of helping South Philly get their own food co-op. Well, it looks as though things are going well because another meeting will be held Monday the 26th at 6:30 p.m. at the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center on Passyunk and Dickinson. Weavers Way Food Co-op will present “What is a Food Co-op and what it will take to get one started.” Neighbors who want to own a community business are encouraged to attend.








I was on the Weavers Way contingent and because of work missed the first hour presentation and small group discussion. I’d say 50-60 people attended and demonstrated energy and support for the idea. Committees were formed and people are on their way to making this idea of a community owned market in South Philadelphia real. If you agree, then keep our eye open and participate in the endeavor by supporting this with your attendance and volunteerism.
