Friends of Kennett Food Co-op

Edie is a past Board President of KCG and is looking forward to leading Friends of Kennett Food Co-op, continuing to work with the KCG Board to fund needed projects for the Grocer. As a shopper at Weaver’s Way Co-op in Chestnut Hill, PA and as someone who almost moved to Brattleboro, Vermont just because they have a terrific food co-op, to say that Edie is passionate about what a food cooperative can do for a community would be an understatement. Edie joined KCG and the "Friends" Board to work diligently to make this place happen. Building community relationships, reaching out to others with a passion for local foods, providing an economic engine for our community members, and encouraging the sharing of our rich diversity is what KCG is all about.

Sandi is a retired toxicologist. Now she has a small Etsy shop and enjoys gardening, especially herbs, veggies and flowers. When growing up in Detroit, family-owned local grocery stores were a vital part of the neighborhood as vendors and friends. A Member-Owner and volunteer, she believes that KCG will benefit local residents, farmers, and entrepreneurs, providing direct support for our local economy and preservation of the surroundings that brought us here. She will use her organizational and communication skills on the "Friends" Board to help KCG move forward to our very own neighborhood store!

Lynn brings more than four decades of business ownership and leadership experience to the "Friends" Board, where her skills in board management, event planning, and community outreach will be invaluable. A longtime Kennett Square resident and active Rotarian, Lynn is passionate about healthy food, supporting local sources, and strengthening the community through cooperative action. With her strong background in fundraising, grant writing, and organizational leadership, she is eager to help the nonprofit guide KCG as it grows into a thriving, community-owned grocery store.
