Building a Better, More Sustainable Future for Bethlehem with Your Help

At Bethlehem Co-op Market, we believe a sustainable future starts with our food system.

This is why we're building a community-owned grocery store focused on local, nutritious food, supporting local farmers, and reducing environmental impact.

Now, as part of our final fundraising push, we're initiating a campaign called Sustainable Future to raise $1.6 million. These funds will allow us to open with the strongest financial foundation and bring our vision of a sustainable, community-driven food system to life.

The funds raised in this campaign will be used to help pay back commercial loans, support bringing in inventory for our shelves, and conduct trainings for the large number of new hires we'll be making over the next few months.

Our focus on this campaign is to secure member loans, a new option for member-owners to loan money to the co-op, a strategy used successfully by many co-op's around the country. We'll also continue to accept donations (tax deductible or not, and one-time or recurring), hold events, and grow membership as part of this campaign. Together we can do it!
