This was a special cycle, meaning a Tuesday distribution during Thanksgiving week, so we weren’t sure how our consumer members would respond.
We are pleased with your purchases. Total sales were just over $14,000, and we had 208 members order 2,181 different items from 70 different producers to be picked up at nine locations or delivered to seven homes.
Sales for the two November distributions this year were 11% more than the two we had last November.
So, thank you all so much. We’ll have your products ready for you to pick up.
PLEASE NOTE: Everything that normally would happen on distribution Thursday will happen on Tuesday this week.
Also, our alternative pickup will be on Wednesday from 8 am to noon.
A few more quick things:
1. If you are picking up at Franklin Plaza, please check out products available for purchase in our Retail Center. There’s lots of good stuff you can add to your online orders.
2. We accept EBT cards for payment ONLY AT OUR Franklin Plaza site. If you are an EBT member and are picking up at another location, please send an email to distribution@iowafood.coop so we can arrange for processing your payment.
3. It’s a GOOD IDEA to check to be sure your pick-up site is correct. You can access your invoice by logging in, going to the shopping tab, and click “view in-process invoice”. If it’s not right, send an email to distribution@iowafood.coop.
