Welcome to Rise Community Market, Cairo Illinois’ premier food cooperative. We are dedicated to transforming our community by providing access to fresh and nutritious food options that were absent for over seven years in this town.
Cairo Illinois, like many other places, faced the challenge of being a food desert. Limited access to fresh produce and healthy food choices created significant hardships for our community. But we didn’t give up. Rise Community Market emerged as a result of the collaborative efforts of dedicated community members who recognized the need for change and took action.
