Community, sustainability, local food—help us keep Bexley Natural Market alive and thriving.

Story

Welcome to our campaign to support Bexley Natural Market, your trusted community co-op since 1976. We are a small, cooperative health food market dedicated to providing fresh, organic, and local goods to our neighbors. As a staple in the community, we’ve always believed in nourishing not just bodies but connections between local farmers, vendors, and customers.

This campaign is critical to our future. Your support will help us continue serving the community, fostering sustainability, and uplifting small, local businesses. Together, we can ensure that Bexley Natural Market remains a vibrant resource for generations to come.

 

What We Need

To recalibrate and navigate our future, we aim to raise $50,000. Here’s how your contributions will be used:

Operational Costs: Covering the expenses necessary to keep the store open as we navigate our next steps.

Staff Support: Providing the necessary support to our current staff, as well as those affected by our lay-offs.

Inventory: Sourcing high-quality, local, organic products that our community loves.

 

The Impact

Your contribution isn’t just about saving a store; it’s about preserving a community hub.

Supporting Bexley Natural Market means:

Strengthening Local Economy: Dollars spent locally stay local, creating jobs and supporting farmers.

Promoting Sustainability: We prioritize organic, regenerative practices that nurture the earth.

Building Community: A thriving co-op is a place for connection, education, and shared values.

Every donation helps us continue to provide healthy, responsibly sourced food to our neighbors and to champion the farmers and producers who make it possible.

 

Risks & Challenges

Like many small businesses, we’ve faced rising costs and economic shifts. These challenges have been compounded by reduced sales, making it harder to cover essential expenses. However, our strong community ties, dedicated team, and years of experience position us to adapt and overcome.
Your trust and support will enable us to implement necessary changes and create a more sustainable future for the market.
