    Story of the GBCF CO-OP:  Co-operatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and caring for others. Like many consumer food coops in the United States today, the Great Basin Community Food Co-op began when a few people got together to create a business that would meet a mutual need: to increase community access to affordable, sustainable, and wholesome food that enriches the health of the Northern Nevada's environment and economy.​ In 2005, the GBCFC began as a buyers' club relying exclusively on the volunteer efforts of motivated citizens. The buyers' club was closely associated with a cooperative CSA program that coordinated several regional farmers' produce into one weekly basket subscription for Northern Nevada households, known as the Great Basin Basket. Both the buyers' club and the Great Basin Basket grew quickly. A small store-front opened on Wonder Street within a year of the initial community meetings. That store-front operated for over a year before moving to a slightly larger location on Plumas in 2008. Three years later in 2011 we carried out a member driven fundraising campaign to move the store for a third time into a much larger building in order to better meet the needs of its members.  On February 11, 2012 we opened our doors at 240 Court St. Reno, NV 89501. Since then we have won national awards for our steady growth as we serve the food needs of Northern Nevada. We do our best to stay ahead of the game, always looking to improve our food system through better nutrition, decreased waste streams, carbon sequestration, safe farming practices, and fair wages for farmers. We believe in organic, local, single source clean food that is produced in a fair way for all involved.   Nicole Sallaberry and Dr. Ray chat about the need for The Great Basin Community Food CO-OP and importance of being able to support local farmers as well having as access to the nourishment that comes from local, organic produce.   Connect with Nicole Sallaberry:  IG: @greatbasinfoodcoop FB: @GreatBasinCommunityFoodCoop Vimeo/Twitter: @greatbasinfoodcoop https://www.greatbasinfood.coop/ https://www.dropp.coop/   FFC Connect:  wavve.link/thebeaconpodcast  https://www.renosparkschiro.com/ https://www.wecarechiropractic.com Facebook - @Familyfirstchiropractic IG - @familyfirstnv / @dr.raydaniels

A true Kindness Ninja, as he was taught, is a person that carries out an act of Kindness without the desire of seeking recognition. Now Brian is on a mission to inspire crowds of Kindness Ninjas in schools across the country to ban together in solidarity to make a massive difference in the world. His infectious energy and positivity has earned him national media exposure on MTV, USA Today, & MSNBC. He has spoken to over 250,000 students across the country, collected over 300,000 pairs of shoes for needy children and families around the world, produced 2 award-winning humanitarian documentaries and has traveled to Kenya 9-times to carry out Global Acts of Kindness. Brian's passion in life is to inspire youth, that every single person has the ability to make a difference in someone's life. No matter how rich, poor, or dysfunctional your world may be. . . everyone has the ability to impact someone's life in a positive way. He is a person of action. He thrives on not being a speaker that takes the stage and talks for an hour and leaves. Rather, he aims to create movements of Kindness within each school he visits. He challenges each school to a massive 15 Days of Kindness challenge, school versus school, seeing who can make the biggest difference in the world. . . in just 15 days. Schools have noticed a decrease in bully related incidences after taking on Brian's 15 Days of Kindness challenge. He has mastered the skill of motivating people to action. In addition to traveling the country speaking to students, he also works with school counselors, principals and teachers, equipping them with ideas, resources, and tactics to inspire a Kinder culture within their school.
