IFC Pick-up is this Thursday: Note different ANK pick up location!

We had 212 members order 2,114 different items this cycle. Total purchases just over $12,000. We are okay with that number. It seems counter intuitive, but summer time sales through IFC go down because of options like farmers’ markets. plus a lot of our members have home gardens. So, we really appreciate your purchases.

If you are getting this message as an email, YOU ORDERED SOMETHING that needs to be picked up (each cycle a few people don’t realize they’ve ordered because we don’t use a check-out step).

NOTE: First Family Church in Ankeny has its Vacation Bible School this week, so we’ll use the parking lot of Ankeny Sanitation, which is just west of the church on the same side of the road. Look for a sign along the road and our popup tent. It’s suppose to be a nice day, so doing it outdoors will be fun.

Some quick info on distribution:

1. If you are picking up at Franklin Plaza, be sure to check out products available for purchase in our Retail Center. There are lots of good stuff you can add to your online orders.

2. Specifics on times and locations for all our sites are available with this link.
