The SHARE Cooperative at The Harvest Market is a start-up business that requires Member-Owner equity to cover opening expenses.
Your one-time investment provides the needed Member-Owner equity.

 

Member equity investments will be fully refundable if the SHARE Food Co-op does not proceed to the implementation stage.
