IT'S A SIMPLE IDEA, REALLY - provide quality, healthy food at a substantial savings through cooperative purchasing; and build a sense of community by bringing people together and promoting volunteer service.

The Community Food Co-op is for EVERYONE. Whether you are struggling to meet your basic food needs or are just looking for a way to share in community, you can be part of this simple exchange: giving and receiving.

It's a great concept and so simple to participate. At the start of the month you place your order for as many shares of food as you want. Each share includes 4 frozen meats (always 1 lb of ground beef and some form of chicken) along with a variety of Fresh Fruits & Vegetables (about 8-10 kinds depending on the amount of each), bread, and a staple item like rice or beans. All that is $23 a share. You can also get a Half Share or a harvest share (no meat) for less. The food is all high quality, exactly what you would get at the grocery store but nearly half the cost. If you want to see and example of what you get in a standard share the co-op website has an example at http://www.ncga.coop/member-stores

The best part about this, is that unlike other deals the more people you tell the better! The more members the cheaper it is to run and get food because it is all based on volunteer help. The is a small one time donation to join and then you just pay for the cost of food. And starting this month you can place your order online!
