Sevananda Natural Foods Market

Since opening in 1974, Sevananda has provided natural foods to Atlanta residents. It converted from a non-profit corporation to a cooperative in the 1990s in order to raise equity from customers. Today, it is one of the larger community food co-ops in the southeastern United States with 3,400 members.  Committed to the community, the co-op prioritizes local sourcing and has run its “Be The Change” program, which encourages members to round-up their total and donates the proceeds to a range of local nonprofits, since 1997.
