“For me, investing in the Monadnock Community Market Co-op is a no-brainer. A lifelong resident of Keene, I am proud to call myself a local. As a downtown Keene business owner, I know the character of our community is reflected by the businesses that thrive here, and the MCM Co-op will add to the vitality of our central business district. I am a strong supporter of building community, and of working together to bring our local Co-op to life.”

“We are making a member loan to the Monadnock Community Market Co-op to help ensure its vibrancy. We are excited to be part of the proven co-op business model that will build on Keene’s tradition of strengthening downtown as a focus of economic activity and community life. At the same time, it will provide healthy food choices and support our regional agriculture.”

“In the over thirty years that we have been here, we have seen the Monadnock Region, and specifically Keene, grow and mature into an incredibly special place. The Monadnock Community Market Co-op will add an another dimension to our community by providing a gathering place for multiple reasons including a year round place for our locally grown and made products, adding another reason to be downtown. All and all, a great reason to support this endeavor!”
