TCG

July 4, 2023

The Community Grocer team would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy 4th of July! Our team has been WORKING over this last month. We began The Community Cookbook - a collection of digital and print media sharing the stories of our neighbors and the profound connection between food and community, finalized plans with our architecture team for the buildout of our flagship location, and went LIVE on GlocaWear Radio to discuss TCG and so much more.

As our journey continues, we need your support now more than ever! Please read on to find out how you can support TCG on our journey to ensure food justice for all!

With grit and gratitude,

The TCG Team

 

What’s Cooking?

Eli and Alex went on the radio with Sister Taleah at the City of Dreams Coalition to chat about TCG, our favorite recipes, and everything in between. In case you missed it, check out the recording on the HERE. Shoutout to Sister Taleah, City of Dreams, and Glocawear radio for having us and helping spread the news about TCG!

With the support of M&T Bank, we have started plans for renovations of our newly purchased building in Cobbs Creek. Thank you, M&T, for your continued support of TCG and our mission! We are excited to continue our partnership.

The team met with Arnett Woodall, a community activist and owner of West Phillie Produce. We enjoyed chatting about the work he’s done in the community, including providing employment in the area, uplifting youth, and providing healthy food options, while sipping on his delicious smoothies! We look forward to learning from Arnett and developing a more robust relationship to serve our communities!

 

TCG in the Community

The summer team went to the People’s Kitchen Philly to help tend to the garden as they prepared for the summer harvest. We had a great time shoveling, planting, and sweating, and were rewarded with a bowl of fresh, delicious strawberries!

TCG and the Resident Action Committee II (RAC2) hosted an outing to the Cinemark to bring our youth to a showing of The Flash.

 

About TCG
