Give & Invest
Assabet Co-op’s Annual Campaign
Help Power the Heart of our Community Owned Grocery Store
Starting this spring, and continuing forward annually, we invite our community to invest in something beyond groceries: a thriving, community-owned store that supports local farms, expands food access, and strengthens our local economy.
As our co-op continues to grow and evolve, we’re working hard to adapt our space and systems to meet the changing needs of our bustling store—upgrading equipment, improving operations, and supporting our incredible staff.
This is your chance to be part of that growth.
Three Ways to Support
1. Make a Tax-Deductible Donation
Anyone can give—and every dollar provides vital, interest-free capital that helps us:
- Upgrade equipment and systems
- Hire and train staff
- Strengthen operations
- Advance our mission of food justice, sustainability, and cooperative values
Your donation stays right here, working immediately to build a better, more resilient local food system.

2. Invest with a Member Loan
If you’re a co-op member-owner, 18+ and living in Massachusetts, you can make an interest-paying loan that directly supports the co-op.
- Loans reduce our need for traditional debt
- Interest payments stay within the community
- You’ll be helping build long-term financial strength
➡️ Email us to request a prospectus: campaign@assabetmarket.coop
3. Open a 1-Year CD through Walden Mutual
Anyone can open a 1-year Community Investment CD through Walden Mutual. Your funds support:
- Local farms across the region
- Our co-op’s infrastructure and growth

Why It Matters
Your investment—whether a donation, loan, or CD—does more than fund store upgrades, it:
- Keeps money circulating in our community
- Supports hardworking local farmers
- Expands access to healthy, affordable food
- Strengthens the systems we need to serve you better
More than ever, now is the time to consider how each of us can participate in the success of local organizations. Please take a moment to consider how you can invest in our mission today.
