Hi. If you are getting this by email, you placed an order for this week’s distribution.
We had 250 members buy 2,558 different items from 87 different producers. Sales were about $17,500, which is 18% more than the same cycle last year. Nice.
We truly appreciate your using the IFC for your local food needs. It helps so many people, and so we are deeply grateful.
Please note that we’ll be having our Annual Winter Market from 9 am to noon on Saturday at our Franklin Avenue location. We’ll have a dozen producers in our space selling their products, plus a wide selection of products in our Retail Center. Locally-produced food and gifts, from fresh greens to cheese, meat to eggs, honey to beeswax candles. Non-members welcome, so bring your friends!
Here’s info regarding pick up this week.
1. Specifics on times and locations for all our sites are available with this link and to the left.
NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME, OUR VOLUNTEERS WON’T BE READY. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND BE PATIENT.
3. Our alternative pick up time at our Franklin Avenue location will be from 9 am to noon on Saturday, Dec. 8. If we don’t see you Thursday, we’ll assume you are coming Saturday or have made other arrangements.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Thanks again.
