An inspirational look at the dedicated and passionate members of the HFC community who are driving us to opening day

 

Meet Chelsea H!

When and why did she become an owner of HFC?

Chelsea became an owner in 2016, shortly after moving to the Hillsboro area. Despite a thriving downtown and vibrant small business community, grocery options were limited. Through a friend, she learned about HFC and knew the opportunity was ripe for a food co-op that connects our bountiful agriculture to local residents. Chelsea says that joining HFC during the startup stage has been a wonderful way to meet her neighbors and invest in the journey.

 

A little about Chelsea

Originally from southern California, Chelsea has called the Pacific Northwest home for years. She’s an avid supporter of the Hillsboro Farmers’ Market, where you’re likely to find her buying native plants, heirloom tomatoes, and seasonal mushrooms.

 

In what way(s) does she volunteer for HFC and what does she enjoy about her experiences?

Chelsea is part of the community outreach team and manages our account on Instagram (follow us @hillsborofoodcoop!). She enjoys seeing the steady progress toward opening day and loves working alongside HFC’s smart, compassionate volunteers. Say hello, send a DM – she’s always excited to hear from current and prospective members.

 

Our volunteers are just like you.  They want thoughtfully produced and sourced foods and products.  They want a place to gather, share, and learn.  They want all people in our community to thrive.  Come work alongside them to build a store that embodies these wonderful things.
