Rainbow Grocery Cooperative

The Rainbow Grocery Cooperative Mission

We have been in San Francisco’s Mission District since 1975. We strive to offer resources, education and a forum for informational exchange for many local communities and organizations.

Our goals include, but are not limited to:

• Providing affordable vegetarian food products which have minimal negative impact ecologically and socially
• Buying goods from local organic farmers, collectives, bakers, dairies and other local businesses whenever possible
• Providing our customers with the best possible service
• Providing Rainbow Grocery Cooperative’s workers with a livable wage
• Creating a nonhierarchical work space based upon respect, mutuality and cooperation
• Offering low-cost health care products and resources
• Supporting other collectives and worker-owned businesses
• Supporting fair labor practices
• Donating to local non-profit organizations and schools
• Encouraging bicycling, mass transit, and alternative transportation
• Composting all in-store green wastes; recycling, reducing and reusing resources whenever possible
• Creating a diverse, non-discriminatory multilingual environment

We maintain an ongoing commitment to make Rainbow Grocery Cooperative an inclusive environment that is welcoming to everyone.
