Mission Statement

At the Onion River Co-op, we call our Mission Statement the Global Ends.
 
The Global Ends embraces:
Results: The difference the Co-op will make in the lives of consumers.
Recipients: The identity of those who will receive those results
Cost: The expense and worth of adhering those results.
 
Global Ends
The Onion River Co-op will be central to a thriving and healthy community, where:

  • Consumers have local access to progressive social, environmental and healthful choices;
  • Residents enjoy an enhanced quality of life;
  • The local food system is strengthened;
  • The cooperative model is supported; and our owners have a sense of pride in their cooperative.

The Co-op works to support its Global Ends by implementing a variety of community outreach projects. Our goal is to provide low-income consumers with access to progressive, social, and healthful choices through education and outreach and to specifically reduce childhood hunger in Burlington.
