The SEITAN PHILLIES! They're more than just great sandwiches, they're the Co-op's new softball team! We're looking for Co-op volunteers to join the team--who wants to be on the roster? Games start in May at the Pumping Station park on Humbolt. For more information or to sign up, contact Nichali.
Meet Nichali, our new Volunteer Coordinator!

Greetings! My name is Nichali Ciaccio. I’m the new Volunteer Coordinator at the Riverwest Co-op. I’m thrilled to receive the torch from Gibson, who is (perhaps reluctantly!) passing it to me after seven years in this position. And I’m very excited to meet, work with and get to know all of you.
Some of you I know quite well, having worked with you in projects throughout the years. Others I have not yet met, and I look forward to doing so.
As Volunteer Coordinator, I’m committed to creating an environment of dedication and enthusiasm for the Riverwest Co-op. Owning and volunteering a co-operative is a highly empowering thing, and a step towards creating a better world of just economics and sustainable food production. I’m honored by the opportunity to take part in this process.
I encourage you to contact me with any questions, concerns, comments, inquiries, missives, salutations or diatribes you may have. You can reach me by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . I live right around the corner and will always be available.
The first all-volunteer gathering will be a drink-and-meet event at the Falcon Bowl on Saturday, January 28th at 7pm. Please drop by and get to know some of the other volunteers and myself.
Lastly, don’t forget about the Riverwest Co-op’s annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser this Saturday, January 14th, from 5-8pm at the main hall of the Falcon Bowl. It’s eight dollars for adults and four dollars for children. Hope to see you there!
Cheers!
