Hillsboro Food Co-op owners know our co-op is committed to Cooperative Principle #7: Concern for the Community.

While we work to open our doors, we’re also working to support our local community. And who better to support this Thanksgiving than the farm workers who help put all that wonderful, locally grown and sustainably produced food on our tables?

Western Farm Workers Association has been supporting farm workers and other low-income workers since 1988. They believe the well-being of our community depends on all workers having food, clothing, adequate shelter, utilities and medical care. This year, with rising heating and food costs, their members need support more than ever.
