Join us for a neighborhood screening of Food For Change, a new feature length documentary (85 min.) that examines the history of the cooperative movement and profiles several food co-ops that are enabling their communities to build food systems that are local, seasonal, and transparent.  This is truly a food revolution!  Be a part of the movement by attending the documentary, and joining the co-op while there.  Or you can join today by visiting our website: www.montavilla.coop and clicking on “Join Our Co-op!”.  It’s that easy.

Bring your friends to this free screening on Saturday, March 7, 2015 from 4pm-6:30pm at the Academy Theater, 7818 SE Stark Street, Portland, OR.  This is a great opportunity to learn, get inspired, and meet other neighbors who are passionate about reclaiming control over our food system through eating better, transitioning away from processed foods, and growing more food locally.

Join the co-op community and/or become a sponsor of our co-op and this event. Sponsorships can include monetary, food, or another pre arrangement.

Montavilla Food Co-op is a member-owned cooperative business dedicated to opening a democratically run grocery store in the Montavilla neighborhood.  We’re working hard towards connecting the East Portland community to healthy food, supporting local farmers and producers, building community wealth and advancing sustainability initiatives all within a centrally located, cooperative grocery. We are in the organizational, fundraising and member-equity development phase of building our co-op. We hope to open our door in the next 12-24 months.
