We had 225 members order 2,396 different items this cycle. Total purchases were about $13,575 (last year’s number was $10,155, so looks like about a 33% growth for same cycle sales).
If you are getting this message as an email, you’ve ordered something that will need to be picked up. Three things about this distribution:
1. Pick-up is Thursday at our Des Moines-area sites, plus Osceola and Albia. Our Ames pick-up is on Friday. Details on times and locations are available with this link.
NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME, OUR VOLUNTEERS WON’T BE READY. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND BE PATIENT AS THEY GET READY.
2. NOTE: Our alternative pick up time will be from 10:30 to noon on Friday the 3rd (not Saturday as is usual). If you need to use this alternative pick up time, send an email to distribution@iowafood.coop.
3. We can 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
Final note: 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.
