Memberships are open to everyone, there is no criteria to join the Food Co-op. As stated earlier, memberships cost $10 and include a coupon for $5 off the price of your first food box. Members also receive a stamp card. For every nine food boxes purchases of either the small or large size, members will receive one free.
Buying a membership is a cheap and easy way to save even more money on your already affordable food boxes.
However, there are a few rules to remember.
- First, memberships must be presented at the time of purchase in order to collect stamps toward a free food box. As the number of food box orders increases, we find ourselves no longer able to continually review customers’ purchases to keep their stamp cards up to date. Those who do not present their stamp cards at the time of purchase will not be able to receive a stamp for that food box.
- Members can only receive three stamps at any one time. That means they can receive up to three stamps each for both the large and small food boxes every month, regardless of how many they buy. That means members would only receive three stamps on their card, even if they actually bought four, five, six or more boxes at any one time.
- Of course, members are always encouraged to buy as many food boxes as they like.
- Those who lose their stamp cards will be able to receive a new card, but will not be able to recoup the stamps they previously had.
We hope these guidelines are easy to follow. For quick reference, they are also printed on the back of your membership cards.
Membership is open to any family or individual in the community. There is a one-time membership fee ($10.00) which helps with administrative costs.
