We promise that joining the CoG and working with your fellow members will be a fun, enriching, and community-building experience. This is your store; your participation, input, and enthusiasm are vital to its success.

Before you join, please be sure you understand and agree with the following statements:

• Members pay a one-time, non-refundable fee of $25 and an investment of $100, which is refunded if you leave the CoG.

• All family members over 18 years old must join individually.

• Your investment is used for working capital, future expansion, and to help us qualify for matching grants.

• Members work 2 1/2 hours every 4 weeks. Jobs are available in stocking, order assembly, child care and more.

• The CoG is an online store, with several convenient pick-up times throughout the week.

• Our warehouse is centrally located at 1450 67th Street (2 blocks south of Ashby) at the Berkeley- Emeryville-Oakland border to serve residents of the East Bay and beyond.

Two Ways To Join

You can choose to pay the entire $125 at once, or in installments ($25 now, then $10 per month for the next 10 months). Please choose the payment option that works best for you.
