Bond Campaign - 2009/2010
Help build your co-op by buying a West End Food Co-op Bond.
WEFC is one of the only multi-stakeholder co-ops in Ontario, and one of the few non-profit co-ops. We are planning to open a store by 2011 in the heart of Toronto's west end, offering food as local as possible, community food programming and a place to change the food system in our own backyards. We welcome members from all of our stakeholder groups: producers, workers, eaters and our community partners. We have big plans: a warm space, great food as local as possible, community cooking, processing and working. Join us in making this exciting vision become reality!
The Co-op is issuing 5 and 10 year bonds with a 4% interest rate that will begin to accrue two years from the date of purchase. Buying co-op bonds allow you to own a part of your co-op and will help bring forward the opening day of the West End Food Co-op retail store. The value of each individual bond is $100 (partial bonds are not available). Bond purchases are not tax deductable, since they are an investment. However we also accept donations, which are tax deductable.
There are many ways to learn more and become a member and/or purchase a bond. Our co-op directors would be thrilled to meet you and discuss the plans in more detail at one of our upcoming WEFC events or at one of the Sorauren Winter Markets (See the front page of our website for details or contact us by telephone at 416.533.6363, or e-mail at Info@WestendFood.coop).
For those comfortable with conducting their business on-line we also offer the convenience of on-line sign-up and, optionally, on-line payment.
