Northside Food Co-Op

The Northside Food Cooperative is a community-owned cooperative grocery store planned for the Northside of downtown Wilmington.

It will ensure food security and end the food desert, generate resilience in our neighborhoods, and create a self-sustaining business model to enhance the local economy through equity and ownership. There are currently eight identified food deserts in Wilmington, NC.

A food desert occurs in an urban area where affordable, fresh food is unable to be purchased due to location and resources.

Northside Food Co-op hopes to end the food deserts that impacts people who live in the Northside neighborhood in downtown Wilmington.
