Our Mission:
The mission of Lefferts Community Food Co-op (LCFC) is to sell affordable, sustainable, and nutritious food, to encourage healthy food practices and to foster environmentally responsible activities through democratic cooperation. LCFC focuses on serving residents of Flatbush, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and Crown Heights, as well as to the larger New York City metropolitan area. LCFC adheres to the principals outlined by the International Cooperative Alliance.
Our objectives are to:

1.
Sell affordable, sustainable, and culturally-relevant food and products that are easily accessible to the communities we serve at the lowest price possible;

2.
Address issues and provide solutions relating to the nutrition disparity experienced by our residents;

3.
Educate members and residents of our community about the benefits of healthy eating and living;

4.
Foster sustainable partnerships with local farmers, CSA's, Farmer's Markets, cooperatives, community, health and education institutions;

5.
Engage local businesses in promoting access to healthy food; and

6.
Become a role model for the community in demonstrating the benefits of cooperative association.

LCFC finds strength in the diversity of the community around us and commits to a selection of healthy foods and promotion of healthy eating that respects this. We oppose discrimination in any form. We happily welcome all who agree with our objectives, believe in the values of cooperative work, honesty, openness, and social responsibility, and who are willing to participate in the enrichment of the community around them.
