Bringing Fresh, Healthy Food to South LA
We’re opening a community owned grocery store in South LA to increase access to natural, organic foods for our community.
In 2011, several residents of South LA came together fed up with closing grocery stores and lack of healthier food options in the community. They strategized, and galvanized other neighbors to create a community-owned grocery store that serves our own needs sans corporate influence. SoLA Food Co-op was born.
We currently are 687 owners!
We are currently in stage 2a of our co-op development timeline, and SoLA is moving forward with plans to capitalize and select a site for our store. We expect to open doors on our store within two years.

South LA has long been a federally recognized food desert, with more availability of fast food than organic , natural and clean conventional foods. As a result our community suffers from a higher rate of food related illness than other parts of Los Angeles. Join SoLA and become part of the food desert solution.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world."
