On January 17th, someone was filling their cart with bulk goods. Another happy shopper was buying a smoothie, while yet another perused the fresh made bakery items. It seemed like just another day at the Wedge Co-op in Minneapolis. Yet, above these shoppers strange things were happening. People were gathering, some giddy, others chatty, some--like me--were curious.

Sometimes I wonder if the Wedge has been around for so long that we take it for granted. Yes, the co-op's selection is great. Yes, the co-op is community- and good-food-focused. Yes, they've been around since 1974, serving a diverse population of families, hipsters, activists, and more. We know that having the Wedge in our community makes us all better, but how often do we really think about it?

Last week, the Wedge did one of the great things that they've been doing for a while -- they gave a bunch of money to organizations that desperately need and completely deserve it. We're not taking these grants for granted.
