Glut was founded by during the Viet Nam War by conscientious objectors. At the time food coops, alternative newspapers and free health clinics were an integral part of a movement that went far beyond opposition to the war. In keeping with our roots we support through donations organizations that are part of the continuing environmental, peace and social justice movement. Our focus is on groups local to the Washington DC area.

People often want to know where the money they spend is going. When you shop at Glut some of any surplus that our co-op generates helps to continue nurture movements that the collective believe meet our criterion.

Below are links to the websites of just a few of the groups that you have helped to support through your purchases at Glut :
