\nUntil now an interim board has been leading the organization. Snowden, Amedeo, Manning, Warren and Rivera served on the interim board.
\nThe Co-op\u2019s public meetings will resume in January 2015 and will change to taking place quarterly instead of monthly. Meeting locations are still to be announced.
\nThe idea for the Co-op was launched in 2011 by a group of community-minded individuals. It was legally incorporated in 2012. A membership drive was launched in 2013 with each member paying a one-time fee of $300 to join. Tentative plans are to open the co-op in late-2015 if its membership goal is reached. To-date the Co-op has 164 paid member-owner households.
\nThe Bethlehem Food Co-Op is a diverse community encouraging physical, social, and economic health by providing healthful, affordable food; emphasizing local, sustainable, humane, and natural food systems; and offering unique educational opportunities to the entire community.
