About Big River Grocery
Big River Grocery is a community-owned food cooperative that will provide access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food in Helena, Arkansas. The store will be housed in the historic 1925 First Presbyterian Church building, which was donated to help make this vision a reality.
This market is more than an event — it’s a step toward opening a grocery store built by the people, for the people.
