Member Julie
Meet longtime PCC member, Julie! Since 1984, she’s called View Ridge PCC her home store and remembers shopping at its original location where Third Place Books is today. She even volunteered at the co-op, supporting member relations. Julie recalls the wonderful conversations between staff and shoppers—PCC was always a place that welcomed people from all backgrounds and abilities. Back then, Julie attended nutrition tours led by beloved staff member Goldie as she shared her evidence-based advice on food and nutrition. These tours were the jumping off point for PCC’s cooking class program. Julie appreciates the connections she gets to make with staff and that PCC puts effort into intentionally sourcing products. Thank you for your decades of dedication, Julie!
