Where our ends provide us with a roadmap for achieving the priorities of our owners, they don?t speak to the ?why? behind the work that we do. At Eastside Food Co-op we fully believe that by serving others we nourish our community. By focusing on employing people from our community, supporting local businesses and initiatives and playing an active role in decisions that affect Northeast Minneapolis and the surrounding communities, we have the ability to make a difference. When we bring the same level of passion to nourishing our community as we do to nourishing our consumers? health, we know that we can be successful in our endeavors.
