Dear Co-op Members,

I am honored to step into the role of Board President for the Littleton Food Co-op, and I want to begin by offering my heartfelt thanks to my predecessor, Deb Sullivan, for her extraordinary service. Deb is one of the longest-serving board members in our Co-op’s history, contributing more than eight years of leadership, wisdom, and dedication. Our Co-op is stronger because of her many contributions, and we are deeply grateful for her commitment to this community-owned store.

I am pleased to share that your Co-op is strong. We are profitable, sales continue to grow year over year, and we are supported by an exceptional team of employees who work hard every day to make shopping at the Co-op a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Their dedication, care for our members, and belief in our mission are a big part of what makes this store so special.

As many of you know, supporting local farms and businesses has always been at the heart of the Littleton Food Co-op. Bringing high-quality, locally sourced food to our shelves remains a core focus of who we are. When you shop at the Co-op, you are doing more than buying groceries — you are supporting living-wage jobs, strengthening our local economy, and helping small farms and producers thrive. The positive ripple effect our Co-op has across the North Country is something we can all be proud of.

At the same time, we know that strength today does not guarantee success tomorrow. That is why the Board, in collaboration with our new CEO, Learner Limbach, will be initiating a strategic planning process to be completed by the end of this year. This work is focused on ensuring that our Co-op remains resilient and continues to thrive well into the future. The more we thrive, the greater the positive impact we can have on our community.

A vital part of this process is your voice. In the coming days, all members will receive a survey and opportunities to share feedback and ideas. Please take time to participate — your input matters and will directly help shape the future of your Co-op.

What makes the Littleton Food Co-op truly special — and why our future is so bright — is our incredible community of more than 10,000 member-owners who believe in cooperation, local food, and community well-being.

I look forward to seeing you in the store.

Warm regards,

Timothy Healey
Board President
Littleton Food Co-op
