We need more people to grow the Cooperative and grocery store! With more members, we can extend our opening hours, offer more products and come up with new interesting projects!

How do I become a member?

  • By acquiring capital shares of the coop (minimum of 15€) - through this investment, you are becoming a part-owner of the cooperative, and hence responsible for its management and sustainability.
  • By working a 3 hour work-shift every 4 weeks in the grocery store - helping run the store and becoming an active member of the community.

Where to start?

The first step is to join a Welcoming Session. This one hour presentation is mandatory for future members, but it's also a great way to learn more about the project before commiting to anything!

Sign up for a Welcoming session

You cannot commit to being a member but still want to help out? We are always open to suggestions by email geral@rizomacoop.pt, but we can already tell you we are looking for:

  • a bigger space for our grocery store. Do you know a place?
  • equipment for the store: bulk distributors, fridges, cash registers...
  • in doubt, you can always help us with a donation 👇

Support us with a donation


Your contributions will be used for the initial set-up of Mini Rizoma:

  • Signage for the store
  • Bins and scales for purchasing in bulk (less packaging!)
  • Labelling tools and material for creating engaging labels that show price and information about each product
  • IT software and hardware, such as POS and scanners
  • Initial stock, focused on local and sustainable products

Once we're on our feet, further funding will be used for:

  • Hiring 3 part-time staff positions
  • Refrigerators & freezers to expand our stock options
  • Café equipment
  • Furniture for community spaces
  • and more to be detailed in the coming months

Community loans are also welcome. Contact us for more information!
