					<description><![CDATA[Greeting Fellow KCFC Member-Owners! On Sunday, September 24 we held the Kitsap Community Food Co-op’s Annual Members Meeting. This was an opportunity for member owners to get more detailed information about the operations of the co-op and meet with board members. It was our first in-person meeting in 3 years and I want to extend a big THANK YOU&#160; to Crane’s Castle Brewing in East Bremerton for hosting the event. For those of you who were not able to attend you can download the presentation here but I wanted to share a couple of highlights.&#160; The takeaway? Shopping at the store matters a lot! Increasing our average sales by just $200/day would help us to balance out many of those pressures on our margins.&#160; Know that the staff, the board and our many volunteers are working hard to provide you with access to the quality, local food you joined the coop for. Of our over 1,400 member-owners, 477 of you have shopped at the store at least once this year… THANK YOU!!! If you haven’t been to the store in a while, come check us out. Or maybe check out our new online store where you can pick it up later or have your grocery items delivered to your home via DoorDash. In short, the Kitsap Community Food Coop’s vision of improving access to quality and local food to everyone in the community continues to shine. And as we grow so will the community that we are all a part of. Remember… “COMMUNITY” is our middle name 🙂 Cooperatively, Jeff Allen President, Kitsap Community Food Co-op&#160; Reach out to&#160;members@kitsapfood.coop&#160;to get engaged!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[2023 BOARD ELECTIONS: YOUR CO-OP NEEDS YOU!!Nominations are now open for the 2023 KCFC Board Elections! Each year, all member-owners of the Co-op have the opportunity to shape our future by nominating and electing members to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is elected by the membership to serve a three year term as representatives of the member-owners. The Board establishes policies, oversees the operating and capital budgets, approves plans and recommendations, and sets general guidelines for staff. They hold ultimate legal responsibility for the operations and actions of the Co-op and for fulfilling its mission: The Kitsap Community Food Co-op connects our local community with quality food, products, and access to information that promotes a healthy future for our families and our planet. Together we work toward a world where mutually beneficial relationships exist between producers and purchasers. Board members are elected by the member-owners using a majority vote as outlined in our&#160;bylaws. Interested in joining the board?&#8230;&#160;&#160;Click here to learn more!]]></description>
