Owner #3239

Why did you join the Dill Pickle?

Dill Pickle is a great local option. They carry quality produce and a great selection of vegan choices!

How have you participated as an owner?

I purchase most of my groceries here. I always speak very highly of the Dill Pickle to anyone who is interested in shopping locally and are looking for healthier options. 

Why do you wish to serve on DPFC Board of Directors?

I am the healthiest I've ever been due to my lifestyle change. I want to make people aware of better nutritional choices that are better for them in the long run. 

I wish to make our community more aware of the Dill Pickle and all the amazing products it carries. We need to grow into a healthier community. 

What perspectives, skills, experiences, or affiliations do you hope to bring to board leadership?

I have always been a born leader. I am an extrovert, I love socializing and interacting with people! 

Champions adjust!

how might the co-op open its doors wider to prospective new owners and community members?

I believe that the co-op should market themselves a bit more towards the Latino community. Focus more on our culture and our holidays. 

Such as creating meals and selling them to the public even if its once a week. 

Meatless Mondays or Wednesdays Watermelons sales would be good too! 

Anything else you’d like to share?

I will pridefully represent my community Logan Square as a board member of the Dill Pickle.
