| Building Community, One Connection at a Time 💚❤️
Not a member-owner yet? 👉 https://rb.gy/cu8bfq
Last week, OCGC member-owners and their families gathered for a fun-filled evening at the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club for our Member-Owner Night—and what a wonderful reminder of what cooperation looks like in action!
From first-time players learning the ropes to friendly competition across the courts, the evening was filled with laughter, conversation, and connection. We welcomed member-owners of all ages, shared refreshments, learned a new skill together, and strengthened the relationships that make our co-op more than just an organization—it makes us a community.
One of the cooperative principles is Concern for Community, and events like these help us live that principle by creating spaces where neighbors become friends, families feel welcomed, and member-owners can build lasting connections beyond meetings and volunteer shifts.
A special thank you to the team at the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club for their hospitality and for helping our group learn the game. We also appreciate everyone who came out, brought family members, cheered each other on, and helped make the evening a success.
As we continue building a community-owned grocery store, we are also building something equally important: a community where people know one another, support one another, and have fun together.
Not a member-owner yet? Join the movement and help us build a community-owned grocery store for South St. Petersburg. 👉 https://rb.gy/cu8bfq
💚 Community. Ownership. Belonging.

🌱 Wellness Wednesday: Plan Today. Protect Tomorrow. Build for Generations. 🌱
At OCGC, we believe wellness is about more than what we eat—it's also about protecting our families, preserving our assets, and creating opportunities that can be passed from one generation to the next.
Whether it's creating a healthcare directive, establishing a power of attorney, protecting family land, or exploring cooperative ownership, planning today helps ensure that the values, resources, and dreams we've worked so hard to build remain in our communities tomorrow.
These opportunities align closely with the Cooperative Principles, especially Principle #2: Democratic Member Control and Principle #7: Concern for Community. Cooperative ownership and thoughtful life planning are both acts of stewardship—ways we care for ourselves, our loved ones, and future generations.
📝 Plan your work. Work your plan.
🏡 Protect your legacy.
🌱 Build generational wealth and community wealth.
🤝 Strengthen the future through cooperation.
Thank you to Bay Area Legal Services and the Federation of Southern Cooperatives for providing resources that help individuals, families, farmers, and communities prepare for the future.

🌱💚 Membership Monday 💚🌱
Did you know that one of the benefits of being part of OCGC is helping amplify the voices, stories, and expertise of our community through the OCGC Speakers Bureau?
Our member-owners, partners, and supporters are helping spark conversations about food sovereignty, cooperative economics, community ownership, civic engagement, health equity, sustainability, and building stronger communities.
Every time OCGC presents at a community meeting, conference, classroom, church, neighborhood association, or civic organization, we are sharing the vision of what's possible when people come together to create solutions.
Membership is more than joining a co-op—it's becoming part of a movement that educates, inspires, and empowers others.
✨ Join today.
✨ Invite a friend.
✨ Help us reach our next milestone of 300 member-owners.
Together, we're building community one conversation at a time. 💚

💜🌟 Thank You for a Wonderful Senior Wellness & Connection Day! 🌟💜
A heartfelt thank you to the Childs Park Neighborhood Association, volunteers, presenters, partners, and especially the seniors who joined us for an afternoon of wellness, creativity, laughter, learning, and connection.
It was inspiring to see neighbors come together to build community, share wisdom, make new connections, and celebrate the importance of healthy aging and belonging. From wellness activities and creative expression to games, resources, and fellowship, the event was a beautiful reminder that strong communities value and uplift their elders. 💚
Thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible and to all who attended. Together, we continue creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and connected.

The real "party" is participating—show up, be informed, ask questions, vote, and help shape the future of our community. Democracy works best when we all take part.
