We are the Maryland Food Collective, there is no supervisor, only workers who own and operate the non-profit store. We sell a variety of food items in the Student Union, room B0203, at the University of Maryland, College Park. We offer a volunteer-for-food program to allow people to purchase items in the store if they do not have the money. We've been operating this way since 1975, come in and have a look!

Volunteering at the Co-op

Co-op not-fun-but-somewhat-interesting fact 2#: Our suggestions box is located around the microwaves in the store. Use it if you don't want to talk to us.

Co-op fun fact 1#: Looking for some special product that you think we should carry? Talk to one of the workers, and they can either start selling it, or you can put in an order for it! Please do the asking either before or after lunch rush. You can also leave a note. PS you get a discount with special orders.

Food for People, Not for Profit

Online (but incomplete) Co-op History Archives. Please see us if you want to do some research on the co-op since we won't get around to putting stuff online for who knows when, and we got a boxful of stuff.
