Hi. If you are getting this by email, you placed an order for this week’s distribution.
We had 210 members buy 2,428 different items from 87 different producers. Sales were about $15,000, which is about 10% above same cycle sales last year. That’s our goal, so we did well.
Below is info regarding distribution this week. Please know we truly appreciate your using the IFC for your local food needs. It helps so many people, and so we are deeply grateful.
1. If you are picking up at Franklin Plaza, please check out products available for purchase in our Retail Center. There’s good stuff you can add to your online orders.
2. Pick up times at all sites are the same, but we’ve moved distribution to tomorrow (Tuesday). Ames pick-up will be Wednesday from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. Our alternative pick-up for Franklin Avenue customers will be Wednesday morning from 10:30 to noon. If you have any questions, please email us at distribution@iowafood.coop.
NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME, OUR VOLUNTEERS WON’T BE READY. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND BE PATIENT.
3. 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.
4. 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.
