Our Mission & Board of Directors

Prairie Food Co-op Mission Statement

Seven Core Principles of Co-ops

In addition to our mission, Prairie Food Co-op is dedicated to following and promoting the core principles that cooperative businesses around the world operate by. These principles, along with the cooperative purpose of improving the quality of life for their members, make cooperatives different from other businesses.

Meet Our Board of Directors

The board of directors is responsible for leading the co-op and guiding the organization. They have been elected by Owners to act on their behalf. The board is committed to absorbing the ownership's needs and wants and making the best decisions for the organization as a whole.

In Spring 2015, the Board applied for and was awarded a competitive $10K grant from Food Co-op Initiative based on the strength of the organization, strong leadership, and potential for success.

The last elections were held during May 2020. The board is comprised of nine to eleven members, depending on current needs. We currently have 11 elected directors. Next elections will be held May 2021
