Want to help guide Willy Street Co-op?
Willy Street Co-op is governed by a nine-member board of directors. All Owners can run for one of the open seats in our July election. Visit willystreet.coop/about-us/co-op-governance to see our current board and to learn more. Candidate applications will be posted on our website and available in-store by March 1.
Double Dollars distribution ends March 12
March 12 will be the last Tuesday to receive Double Dollars vouchers until late October, although you’ll still be able to use them through May, while program funds last. If, at the end of May, you have Double Dollars vouchers you were not able to spend, you can keep those Double Dollars until October and use them during the next Co-op Double Dollars season.
As a reminder, customers who use their FoodShare/QUEST (SNAP) benefits when they shop are eligible to receive Double Dollars vouchers for every $5 they spend on their EBT card, up to $20. The vouchers can be used at any Co-op retail location, any day of the week through May. Double Dollars are good for fresh, canned and frozen fruits, vegetables and legumes, as well as seeds and seedlings for edible plants to grow in your garden.
$5 Dinners
The $5 Dinners at Willy North have been very popular. The menu varies every month, but each includes a full meal packaged in a to-go box. Around the first of each month, we will post the menu for the next $5 Dinner in our store, on willystreet.coop and on flyers posted around the Northside. You don’t have to be a Co-op member to join us for the meal. Everyone is welcome.
