Grassroots Grocery

Grassroots Grocery is a Non-profit, Cooperative Grocery Store that is dedicated to providing locally sourced naturally grown healthy food at realistic prices.
We are located in a USDA recognized "food desert" which means that it is a urban neighborhood without ready access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food. Instead of supermarkets and grocery stores, these communities may have no food access or are served only by fast food restaurants and convenience stores that offer few healthy, affordable food options.
We will be open to the public, but as a cooperative, we'll have memberships. The membership gets you a percentage off every purchase all year long!

Our mission: We are a growing, effective cooperative grocery rooted in Alton, Illinois which will provide healthy and organically grown food, strengthen the network of local farmers, engage our diverse community in improving health and self-sufficiency, and contribute to a sustainable local economy.
