   • Hi all!

     
     

     Greens & Beans Grocery Co-Op is hosting a new member onboarding session <date> at Luther Place Memorial Church. It will take about 15 minutes. If you are interested in becoming a new member, we would love to see you there! Sign up to attend here.

     
     

     In the meantime, check out our membership agreement and FAQs.

     
     

     Following the onboarding, there will be an opportunity to meet other co-op members, listen in on a discussion, and shop our products. Bring your own reusable containers, or use one from our collection. 

     
     

     You are receiving this email because you are on our mailing list and/or have filled out our interest form. Please let us know if you no longer wish to receive these emails and we will remove you from our list.
