How to Join
We are gathering funding for the first community store and we need your help!!
We are looking for anyone who is interested in having the community store in their neighborhood as a customer, local producer/manufacturer or partner interested in our goal of a community sustainability hub so we can add your interest to our business proposal.
Please email us at TheTeam@aquiferproject.org. We will also be creating a flyer to bring to local famers markets with details and contact information, the flyer will be posted here if you wish to help us spread the word.
Community Gatherings
We are currently meeting locally to work on building connections, discuss upcoming projects, writing new business proposals and applying for grants. You can join us on Meetup. As we grow we will be moving to a permanent location and invite local sustainability leaders to connect with our project and the public, these will be live streamed. Please follow us on twitter for updates @AquiferProject. There is one thing we need to make this happen, you. Connect with us no matter where you live, let us know how you want to be involved, lets find a way to bring the Aquifer Project to your community.
