A shopper’s first glimpse of Matt Hass is likely to be around the corners of a box of vegetables, from behind which he might be calling instructions to a volunteer, answering a customer’s question, or exchanging quips with a passing acquaintance.
Assistant manager and produce manager Hass serves as Hampden Park Coop staff representative on the board of directors, a post he’s held for three years.
He shares with other managers the day-to-day buying, selling, recordkeeping, and coordinating of volunteers that keep the store running.
Hass grew up in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, where he didn’t have any co-op experience but did work in a grocery store during high school.
