Last June, the Charles River Food Co-op launched its inaugural membership drive with the goal of reaching 500 Founding Members — each paying $200 one-time or in installments — by October 31. On November 2, that goal was reached, with the encouragement and endorsement of Russo’s Produce. Today the Charles River Food Co-op has 516 members and is undertaking a feasibility study to confirm the financial viability of its plans. The next goal is to reach 1,000 members by April 30.
Bruce Henderson is member #474 of the Charles River Food Co-op.
