For the Community, By the Community
Our Story
Lane County faced a major challenge when our only grocery store was lost to fire in January 2024. What could have been a devastating blow to our community turned into an opportunity for resilience, unity, and vision.
The Lane Co. Community Foundation, along with dedicated residents, stepped up to ensure access to fresh, affordable food for every household in our county. Lane Co. Community Grocery, Inc. is a subsidiary C-Corporation of the Foundation and is overseen by a seven-member Board of Directors.
From generous donations to countless volunteer hours, this grocery store is happening because it's built by the community, for the community.
Our Mission
At Lane Co. Community Grocery, our mission is simple: To provide convenient, reliable access to fresh food and everyday essentials while keeping dollars local and supporting the strength of our community.
Community-Driven
This store isn't just another grocery chain—it's a community-driven project, made possible by generous donors and forward-thinking leadership. Every purchase made here supports local jobs, local initiatives, and the long-term success of Lane County.
