CoG members:
It's time to choose a job!
Click here to sign up for a work shift »
We've tried to make the process as simple as possible. First, you'll select a job. Then, you'll select a work shift. If you've got a tight schedule, pick the shift that works best. If you're flexible, select a few and we'll choose for you.

We have enough members to staff the warehouse 3 days a week. To offer maximum convenience for work shifts and for order pick-ups, we will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. As more members join, we'll expand our days and hours.

A successful co-op is defined by successful participation. Please choose your job today!

Installment plan now available for new member fees.
Now it's even easier to join »
We are pleased to announce that new members can now pay their membership fee and investment over 11 installments. You'll make an initial payment of $25, followed by 10 monthly payments of $10. Remember, your $100 investment is refunded when you leave the co-op.

We are committed to making the CoG accessible to all. We hope prospective members who are concerned about a large upfront fee will take advantage of this new option. Join today.
