Buying in bulk is something that many folks do around here, even when times feel certain. My family has ordered from Azure for the last 8 months or so. Their quality and prices are unparalleled and we're trying to get them to deliver to Floyd. (right now, we pick up in Danville) If this is something your family would be interested in being a part of, let them know. We have a Floyd resident who has volunteered to be the drop off coordinator and make sure the orders are received at the site.

It's worth it.

Get your food delivered by Parcel Carrier (UPS or USPS), or through our unique delivery system of Drop Points. (See maps.) Either way, you’ll have access to the highest quality foods at affordable prices.

Share something that you consider valuable in a time of scarcity that others might wish they had, but didn't think about when they had the chance.

I'll go first: Extra pair of boots!

Let's take care of our neighbors and not tolerate the cultivation of hate.

The FBI’s Dallas Field Office yesterday released an intelligence report warning that a “violent extremist threat” is imminent, and that the period between now and the inauguration next January is a “potential flashpoint.” That threat comes not from the “left,” as Trump charges, but from the right-wing gangs that Trump is encouraging, including the Boogaloos, a staunchly anti-government group that is working to bring about a race war to speed up the collapse of the government. The report, which was obtained exclusively by The Nation, is titled “Boogaloo Adherents Likely Increasing Anti-Government Violent Rhetoric and Activities, Increasing Domestic Violent Extremist Threat in the FBI Dallas Area of Responsibility.” The report warns that there is “increased ‘patrolling’ or attendance at events” that serve the Boogaloo’s cause, including “otherwise peaceful and lawful protests.”

Hey Friends. I am forming a group of like-minded folks in our amazing community that we may call on in the event that times get harder than they already are. As politics and the various existential threats we face begin to wear on society, there is a very good chance we may have to lean on our neighbors in the near future. I hope that people take the opportunity to feel the gravity of our current situation, not only as Americans, but as humans. Many of us chose to live in the Floyd community based on an intuitive feeling of trust that has always been hard to define. I believe this is one of those moments of clarity. Perhaps it is a good time to "expect the best, prepare for the worst." I am calling folks to be their best selves during this time of transition. I do not wish for this group to be exclusive, but I would like it to be a list of people who put humanity and decency above politics. This is an opportunity to thrive and grow, and we will be much more successful and resilient if we do it together.
