Huge shout out to my friends a Food Shed Co-op (FSC), a start-up co-op in Woodstock, IL set to open early next year. I’ve had the pleasure to assist the Food Shed Co-op in TWO remarkable capital campaigns.
In 2021 the FSC raised a record setting $1.7 million dollars from their community to build their beautiful store. Fast forward to 2023 where rising interest rates and inflation meant that they could no longer complete construction with that amount of money. The team set out to raise an additional $485,000 to cover these increased cost. I am happy to report that that not only did FSC hit that goal of $485,000 they more than DOUBLED it raising $1.1 million dollars.
The FSC team never ceases to impress me. I encourage you to follow their progress!
