Tracy describes all of the good things Steephill is doing for the community:

“During this past year, a new board has worked very hard to rejuvenate this long-standing, neighbourhood food cooperative. 

With the closing of our one chain grocery store on Broadway, Steephill has worked hard to fill the gap that was left.  This includes expanded hours, expanded products, and partnering with Federated Coop to provide some pantry basics for our community. 

In addition, they have partnered with a neighbourhood church to offer group cooking classes.  At times, they offer food at greatly marked down prices, or even free.  It is a friendly and easy place to shop at where you know that any profits made are simply going back into improving the cooperative.”
