Community, relationships and membership
We believe that the people involved with Hampden Park Cooperative constitute a community, and that every person who shops at our cooperative is a member of our community. The community and the cooperative are held together by our common interest in food.
People become involved in our community because they share basic values about food and community. These values and the relationships that evolve between individuals are the life blood of our community and are the characteristics that make us unique. We strive to clarify our shared values, to act in ways consistent with those values, and to nurture the relationships we have with each other.
