Willy Street Co-op Reader
👀 Look what's new for December! ✨
Koslvart Swedish Fish Candy
Kolsvart, established in Malmö, Sweden in 2012, produces gluten-free, vegan, and naturally flavored candy fish. Beginning with licorice, the company emphasizes simplicity, purity, natural flavors, and carefully chosen ingredients. This approach results in products with minimal additives and clean, distinct tastes. Kolsvart also engages in collaborations with artists.
Mock & Co's N/A Old Fashioneds
Enjoy Wisconsin’s favorite cocktail, without the alcohol! This ready-to-drink, non-alcoholic Old Fashioned delivers a classic, nostalgic flavor profile. It’s perfectly blended with bitters, cherry, citrus, and carbonation, plus a unique ginger kick that mimics the mouthfeel and burn of alcohol.
The Salsa Man' Salsa
Gourmet, handcrafted salsas are produced in Watertown, WI utilizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Newly added to Willy East and now at all three stores.
Field Day Organic Corn Dippers
These chips are made for dippin’, and that’s just what they’ll do. Great for salsa, guac, or topping on chili. Certified Organic and free of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives.
Graza Olive Oil Refill Cans
Big fan of the Graza olive oil? Also into saving plastic? We now stock refill cans of both Drizzle and Sizzle to top up your bottles at home.
Driftless Provisions Sliced Pepperoni
If you have eaten a Salvatore’s pepperoni pizza lately and thought, man is this great
pepperoni, well you can now get it from our Meat department for your own creations! This uncured, sliced pepperoni offers a bold, satisfying flavor, perfect for pizza night, snack boards, and everyday meals.
Tots on the Street - on the Hot Bar!
This mother-and-daughter business, founded in 2019, started with a food truck and a passion for potatoes. Each gourmet stuffed tot is handcrafted, bursting with flavor, and made with love. Based in Milwaukee but you don’t have to travel that far for these delicacies! They have landed on our hot bar at the stores. Come scoop some up!
For customers interested in donating goods or cash in December, we have a few options in our stores:
Cash
Through December 31, the Co-op match Double Dollars Fund contributions up to $15,000, and give matched funds to our five neighborhood food pantries: Goodman Community Center Fritz Food Pantry, Lussier Community Education Center, WayForward, The River Food Pantry, and Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center. To donate, use a Double Dollars Fund scan card at the register or self-checkout. For every reusable bag you use, we'll contribute 10¢ to the Fund!
Toys
Santas Without Chimneys is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing holiday gifts and essentials to children and youth who lack stable housing. Inspired by the idea that Santa often comes down a chimney to deliver gifts, Santas Without Chimneys ensures that kids without a traditional home still experience the magic of the holidays. Donate unwrapped toys at any Co-op store December 8-22. You can also consider volunteering or sponsoring a child or family; to learn more, visit santaswithoutchimneys.org.
Non-Perishable Groceries
The donation shelves at the front of each Co-op store collect non-perishable packaged foods and household goods for our five food pantry partners. You can bring in products from other stores or purchase them at the register and leave them on the shelves.
Thank you to all who have already donated!

In November we saw a huge amount of donations to help those in need:
- customers purchased 1,787 bags of "Pack the Pantries" pre-shopped groceries that went to our five food pantry partners.
- Madison Street Medicine collected about $600 worth of hand-warmers and underwear from donations at our stores; these will be distributed to individuals experiencing housing insecurity.
- The Middleton Keeping Neighbors Warm Campaign collected a total of 936 new or gently used mittens, hats, scarves, and coats, with 428 of those items coming from donations at the Co-op—almost half!
- Between Double Dollars Fund donations via scan cards at our registers and self-checkout and our contributions when customers use their own reusable bags, we've already received over $9000. We're well on our way to our matching target of $15,000! (The Co-op will match all Double Dollars Fund contributions in November and December up to $15,000 and give that money to our five food pantry partners.
Co-op customers have always been a very generous group, but this November you really showed your support for our neighbors in need—THANK YOU!
