We had 291 members ordered right at 2,800 different items this cycle. That’s 45 more members and 3,000 more items than our previous high, which was last cycle. Albia really stepped up with 25 people placing orders to be picked up there. Total purchases were a bit over $20,000 (which beat our previous high by about $2,500).
These are amazing numbers, and we truly appreciate your purchasing through the IFC. Thank you!
If you are getting this message as an email, you’ve ordered something this cycle 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 that if you arrive before the scheduled start time at your location, our volunteers may not be ready, so please be patient while they get ready.
2. We are a bit short on volunteers. There are various shifts available on both Wednesday and Thursday. If you can help out, that would be great. Please send us an email to volunteer@iowafood.coop and we’ll work out the details.
3. If you need to use the 10:30 to noon Saturday alternative pick up time, send an email to distribution@iowafood.coop.
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.
