Mission Statement
Community Grocery Store
The Northside Food Cooperative is a dedicated collective of citizens, activists, and professionals working tirelessly to establish a full-service grocery store in Downtown Wilmington’s Northside, with the aim of eradicating a 35 year old food dessert, enhancing access to fresh food options, and bringing back communal care and connection through food.
There is Need in Our City
According to the USDA, there are currently 8 identified “food deserts” in Wilmington, NC. Currently, a person’s zip-code can determine their life expectancy because of factors like access to healthy, nutritious and affordable foods.
