Kensington Community Food Co-op
Kensington Community Food Co-op will sustain a thriving, healthy community and environment, a vibrant cooperative economy, an active and engaged membership and a community educated in social, economic and food justice.
KCFC started with a shared idea to open a community-owned grocery store to serve the River Ward neighborhoods. The vision was that KCFC would:
– Increase access to fresh, high-quality food and support local producers
– Create good jobs for the neighborhood residents
– Establish a community-oriented space for neighbors to gather and learn
– Keep profits local and drive investment in the community
– After years of hard work and construction, we opened the store in April 2019!
