Goodmorning folks!

We are checking in with you. The most important thing to us is making sure the surrounding community can eat and feed their families. We are deeply disheartened and concerned hearing about the government shutdown that will be effecting many dinner tables. No one should be going hungry. We donate goods weekly to shelters like Food not Bombs, and St. Joes. It doesn’t stop there, though.

Abundance Food Co-Op also has a program called the FLOWER program — It is 10% off everything unless it is already on sale, is a co-op basic, and excludes beer, magazines, or consignment items.

You can apply quite easily by filling out a pamphlet in store, and we make a copy of your ID/EBT card. You’d need a receipt with an EBT balance on it, but you can use any receipt within the past month.

Please take care of yourselves! Ask anyone that works at the Co-Op about this program so we can help. More information below in the comments
