Cooperator of the Month: Ezra Sacks
Joined Weavers Way: He grew up in the Co-op. His mom, Amy Gross, has been a member for over 30 years, and his dad, Bruce Sacks, for 15-20 years.
Lives in: North Wales.
Co-operation history: Various jobs at both stores. The summer between his junior and senior year at Hilltop Preparatory School in Rosemont, he worked on the farm two days a week as part of a school project on locally grown food.
Outside pursuits: He just took the exam to get his Pennsylvania real-estate license. He also drives for Uber and Lyft, and does pet-sitting and house-sitting.
Favorite Co-op products: Make-your-own sandwiches, tacos, sushi, local produce. His family also gets cleaning products here.
Why he’s a working member: “I think my family enjoys it because of the discount. But I think it is a good way to feel more involved in the Co-op community. You get to know people, and you get to know the stores better.”
A little Co-op love: “I have been involved with Weavers Way as long as I can remember, and I like the community feel of it. I like how connected everybody is. It’s not a small community, but it feels small.”
