Wirth Grocery Co-op Board of Directors

Wirth Grocery Co-op isn’t a brick-and-mortar store yet, but they’ve announced a location, 500+ owner-members have already signed up, and Seward shoppers donated nearly $20,000 in “SEED money” to the new co-op in May 2015, by rounding up at Seward Co-op registers.

Wirth Board members attended a small ceremony at Seward yesterday so that a check could be presented by our cashiers and other staff for the SEED total.

Seward cashiers have championed SEED and made it into a major force for food-related non-profits, food shelves, and co-operative efforts like Wirth Co-op in Minneapolis. We were all very excited to present this check to Wirth Co-op!

The new co-op will be located at Golden Valley Rd and Penn Avenue N., in the Willard-Hay neighborhood of North Minneapolis (Google Map).

Seward picks a new SEED recipient month. The SEED recipient for June is the Brian Coyle Food Shelf. Check out their website to learn more about this great community food shelf.
