Established in 1965 as a buying club for families to purchase affordable, pure milk, SCCCU has evolved into a movement concerned with building alternative production, consumption, social welfare, and activist networks. It has spawned producer co-ops, social welfare organizations, an activist political network, an environmental program, and a program to support world peace. Today, it is an association of 22 consumer co-ops and 8 associated companies, with 250,000 individual members. Annual sales for the last fiscal year (April 2003-March 2004) were $690 million.
