The OBBC was created in 1980 as a non-profit organization. It is managed by a Board of Directors who are elected to a two-year term by the membership. A combination of paid and volunteer part time help, including an Office Manager, support staff and a core group of volunteer purchase coordinators, handle day-to-day administration, accounting and purchasing of materials. Funds required to operate the basics are derived from annual membership fees and from a small mark-up on sales. This leaves the most of the discounts from bulk purchase orders to be passed along to our members.
Everyone has something to contribute! The co-op is your organization and your participation is crucial to our continued success. New members, as well as veterans, are encouraged to serve on the board, share information and offer suggestions to better serve the membership. Members may also act as a purchase coordinator for specific products that they have researched and recommend to any other interested members.

Wednesday 9.00 - 4.30
Friday 9.00 - 12.00
