About Rise Community Market
Rise Community Market is not just a grocery store—it’s a place where community thrives. As a member-owned cooperative, our community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that by working together, we can build a more resilient and equitable food system.
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.
Our cooperative is driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to affordable, high-quality food. We have come together, united by a shared vision, to address the food scarcity issues that affected Cairo for far too long. Through tireless determination, we have successfully brought fresh food back to our town.
