Become a Member

Becoming a member only takes a one time investment of $100. You may send more as some have, but only the first share entitles you to a vote. Every penny of every share goes toward our goal of opening your co-op. For more information on the benefits of becoming a member, visit our Member Benefits page.

To mail in your membership investment, please print our membership form* and send it with a check or money order to:

Northwest Illinois Food Co-op
P.O. Box 162
Elizabeth, IL 61036

*You must have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to open the membership form.

Or donate with Paypal. It's quick, easy, and safe! If you don't have an account with Paypal you can pay with any major credit card!

Want To Do More?

You can join the Planning Committee. We'd love to share the fun. We usually meet on the first and third Tuesday of the month in Elizabeth at the Welcome Inn. We combine a light dinner and business meeting. Contact Paul Rode at 847-567-8604 if you would like to attend.

We are also looking for professionals to join our Advisory Board. This is a group of professional individuals willing to help us with the writing of our business plan and the business side of getting the Co-op running. Contact Paul Rode at 847-567-8604 if you are interested in helping us in this way.
