Riverwest Co-op at risk of closing; asking for public's help

From the Article:

The Riverwest Co-op, located at the corner of Clarke and Fratney in Milwaukee, is at risk of closing. The volunteer-run grocery store and café has been open for over 22 years.

They are asking for urgent help with saving the co-op. This, as they are just weeks away from having to close their doors unless they can get additional funding. In an effort to help, they are asking the public to consider shopping there – and they have also created a GoFundMe Page.

"I don’t think there’s any place like the Riverwest Food Co-op in all of Milwaukee or the surrounding area. It’s really like your local corner-store, with a conscience," said Jill Capicchioni, Riverwest Co-op treasurer.

The Riverwest Co-op prides itself on selling local items – like apples from Waukesha County and pickles from Brown Deer. Additionally, there are many options for vegans.
