Organizations Filed Purposes: TO PARTNER WITH OUR MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS IN CREATING FOOD SECURITY, BUILDING COMMUNITY AND PROVIDING A PLATFORM FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT WHILE AFFIRMING DIGNITY.

URBAN RECIPE FORMS AND OPERATES FOOD COOPERATIVES (CO-OPS) FOR UNDER-RESOURCED INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THROUGH MEMBERSHIP IN A CO-OP, FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO A CONSISTENT SOURCE OF HIGH-QUALITY FOOD IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE MEMBERS BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH ONE ANOTHER AND GAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE PROCESS THROUGH THEIR PARTICIPATION. CO-OPS MEET EVERY OTHER WEEK AT A DESIGNED LOCATION WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY TO SORT AND BUILD FOOD BOXES WHICH MEMBERS TAKE HOME THAT DAY. AFTER ALL THE FOOD IS DISTRIBUTED AND PACKED, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF AN ELECTED GOVERNANCE COUNSEL, CO-OP MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN A BUSINESS MEETING AND ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES.URBAN RECIPE OPERATED FOUR CO-OPS IN 2019. MEMBERSHIP PER CO-OP RANGED FROM TWENTY TO FIFTY HOUSEHOLDS. CO-OPS SERVE FAMILIES ACROSS METRO ATLANTA, IN THE COMMUNITIES OF GRANT PARK AND SOUTH ATLANTA. IN ADDITION TO THE PLACE-BASED CO-OPS, A SCHOOL BASED CO-OP WAS ADDED IN 2019.
