All options provide the same access, but we're using a choose-what-you-pay style to accommodate all Co-op members. The Co-op is for everyone—we mean it. As a nonprofit, the costs of joining help us with operating costs, and extra funds provide support to our partners. However, if the cost of a membership prohibits you from joining the Co-op, you can instead join at no cost to you here, no questions asked, no charge to your credit card. This is made possible by donations.
