Local Businesses 

Isla Vista Food Co-op: The Isla Vista Food Co-op is Santa Barbara County's only community-owned grocery store.   The Co-op was founded over 50 years ago by students and neighbors who wanted to ensure that the community would always have neighborhood access to high quality and affordable food, and that our local farmers and producers would have a dedicated store to sell to.   The Co-op is open to the public and participates in many UCSB campus and community events to help share resources to make grocery shopping fun and affordable, and most importantly, to keep investing back into Isla Vista so that everyone can benefit from having a grocery store that everyone owns together. We've accepted Cal-Fresh since the day our doors opened in 1974. We will be painting your own flower pot and will have soil and seeds for people to plant if they'd like.

Costco Wholesale:  At Costco we have an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing for our members, our employees, and our community. As a Costco member, you’ll save on brand-name apparel, electronics, tires, home decor, books, snacks, jewelry, seasonal items, and so much more. Although many of our members love saving money by buying in bulk, you don’t need a big family to enjoy all the value Costco has to offer. So, even if your household is small, you’ll still enjoy big savings as a Costco member. We will have pamphlets for the following services Costco offers: Costco Travel, Costco Auto Program, Monthly Promotional Savings, Membership Information, Costco Connection Magazine. We will also have a spin 2 Win activity. People will be able to spin the wheel to have a chance to win one of the prizes we will have at our booth.
