Food Co-ops

Here is info on a great resource for you or your clients. There are flyers about this at the front desk or the website is http://www.foodco-op.net/. A friend participates in this and has been really happy with the quality of food. They have pick up locations all over the county.

In these tough economic times here is a great resource for all members of our community...
- The Food Co-op provides nutritious food at 30-50% savings to consumers because they buy in large quantities from local growers. The "Standard Share," at retail value, is worth $35-46 but can be purchased for $23.
- A food order is available every month and can include pork, chicken, beef, fruits, vegetables, grains, salsa, and more (depending on the "share" that you order). Orders are picked up at Centro Hispano in Provo.
- For each month you place an order, the Co-op asks that you complete 2 hours of volunteer work in the community. It can be as simple as taking a neighbor to the store, volunteering at a school, etc.
- If you eat, you qualify! They also accept food stamps. It is a great way for all of us to give back to our community.
