One Year Anniversary Event - ENTIRE MONTH OF JANUARY!!!!

Guess what...

January 2010 is the South Bronx Food Co-op's one-year anniversary with our own store!

Yep, it's been a year!

That's why during the month of January, we are asking all members to bring a friend to shop with them. Any friend you bring will share your discount for the day. (For instance, if you are a working member, your friend will receive a 10% discount.)

That's right--the whole month of January!

Last January we froze together laying floors, assembling shelves, installing wiring, and a million other things.

What better time to show off what we've built?

Come out and show off!

and VOILA!!!! The Finished Product!!!

Free event, with food!

Teen Health Fair this Friday 
The co-op is sponsoring (with Health Corps) a health fair for
teenagers this Friday from 10:30 - 12:30 am. The fair will be at the
Urban Assembly School, 701 St. Anns Ave.

Help Needed!
We are looking for someone to donate (or put on extended loan) a small table and some chairs to provide a bit of sitting room for members to enjoy a cup of coffee or have lunch.  We will change the orientation of the juice bar so that it faces the front window and frees up some space in the store for this.  If anyone has a chair or a card table or something that might work, send Lily an email atLily.Acunzo@gmail.com! 

We are also looking for someone to donate a juicer to make our Juice Bar dreams come to fruition! If you have a spare or one that you don't use anymore let Lily know and we can arrange to pick it up.  Thanks!

Taggin it up
Come check out the painting in progress this Sunday afternoon.  Our artist will be in continuing to work on the walls, adding some Bronx flava to the Co-op.

If you CAN stand the Calor in the Cocina

Divine Chocolate to Sample Some of Their Delights at SBxFC

On November 18th at 6:00PM, members of the SBxFC will be treated to a truly wonderful experience:  Fair Trade Chocolate!  What a better combination than our love for chocolate and a leading Fair Trade company like Divine Chocolate, a cooperatively owned company which uses its income to build schools, sinking wells to provide clean drinking water to villages and much more.  To learn more about the company, check out this video or simply visit them on the web.
