About Community Foods
Our Vision Statement
Community Foods is a not-for-profit, volunteer run, community-based and financially viable co-operative.
Our aim is to provide the community of Cairns with a social shopping environment for minimally packaged, quality wholefoods and household consumables that are ethically and environmentally responsible.
Community Foods includes an educational and cultural base, and a meeting space.
We support and encourage other community organisations that have similarly aligned principles.
