Welcome to the Food Shed Co-op Community Investment Campaign 2026 (CIC26), running through December 31, 2026. This campaign offers multiple ways to support your community-owned grocery: direct donations or tax-deductible donations through our fiscal sponsor, preferred shares for Illinois residents, and owner loans for Illinois Food Shed Co-op owner-members.
Like many startup businesses, we’ve faced higher operating costs and inflation, but sales are growing, momentum is strong, and financial stability is within reach. Our goal is to raise $250,000 by December 31, 2026 —and we’re already over half way there. Join us at whatever level fits your means and help secure the future of our co-op.
