About Dorchester Food Co-op
We are a community- and worker-owned grocery store dedicated to expanding access to healthy, affordable food while building local ownership, economic opportunity and community wealth in Dorchester.
ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD
Access to fresh, affordable food is essential to a healthy community. Dorchester Food Co-op offers fresh produce, pantry staples, bulk foods and household essentials in a welcoming environment that makes healthy choices accessible to everyone. We work to increase food access while supporting a more resilient local food system.
SHARED PROSPERITY
We’re building economic opportunity alongside food access. The Co-op creates local jobs, supports regional producers and partners with community organizations to strengthen neighborhood well-being. By investing in people, relationships and local businesses, we’re helping build long-term community wealth and a more equitable economy.
COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP
The Co-op belongs to the people it serves. Unlike conventional grocery stores, the Co-op is owned by community members and workers who help shape its future. Our cooperative model keeps decision-making local and ensures that the benefits created by the business remain in the community. When the Co-op succeeds, the community succeeds.
OUR VISION
We envision a Dorchester where healthy food is accessible to all, local businesses thrive and residents have a meaningful voice in shaping their community’s future. Together, we’re building a grocery store that nourishes people, strengthens neighborhoods and demonstrates the power of community ownership.
