Before a group of women worked together to open a community co-op in New England, the closest place to buy homestuffs was Dickinson. The New England Grocery’s manager, Shelby Clark, has been working hard to grow the co-op, freezing prices, anticipating needs, and reorganizing the shelves for ease of shopping, collaborating with the nearby prison to stock the commissary, and helping with the school’s concessions. Shelby has more changes coming to beautify the building, and will be supported by the numerous volunteers in town who have helped to make the co-op thrive. The co-op’s Facebook page stays up-to-date with the latest ads. Visit it here.

Pink cakes of all shapes and sizes were auctioned off on October 10, 2018 at the Power of Pink event to raise money for the Trinity Health’s Cancer Exercise Rehabilitation Program.
