About Little Africa Food Co-op
"We Take Ownership In Feeding Ourselves"
Our mission is to provide an inexpensive healthy food source for impoverished, urban communities. We strive to create an economic, social, and cultural independence because "you are what you eat".
Our Community owned Grocery Store
Little Africa Food Co-op is a community-owned grocery store and buying club offering fresh, culturally meaningful foods at affordable prices. Members can join with a $150 lifetime membership, which includes up to two family members, access to discounted groceries through Little Africa’s buying networks, and voting rights. As the Co-op becomes profitable, members may also receive dividends, making ownership both empowering and economically rewarding.
About Little Africa Food Collaborative
Our History
Little Africa Food Collaborative is a non profit organization that was founded in 2016 in response to the murder of an unarmed Black man, sparking a community movement rooted in healing, justice, and self-determination. We exist to teach food production, food sovereignty, and land stewardship—empowering our people to take ownership of feeding ourselves. Through education, youth programming, and community projects like the Little Africa Food Co-op, we are building healthy food spaces and strengthening the skills needed for long-term community wellness.
Programs
Roots & Fruits is an intergenerational orchard program where paid community elders teach youth hands-on fruit tree care, harvesting, and land stewardship while strengthening mentorship and neighborhood food access. Located behind 7201 Kinsman rd. Cleveland, OH. Program starts in the summer and ends in the fall.
