Description
The Community Food Club is an innovative and dignified approach to food security that is rooted in consumer choice, member participation, and access to healthy foods. The Food Club is a grocery store style environment, open six days a week. It offers an opportunity and a place for low and moderate income households to increase their food security and to improve their healthy eating by accessing nutritious food on a consistent basis. It allows member households to experience increased self-reliance and respect. They belong to the Food Club, they choose whether and when to participate; and if they do, they invest in it through a low monthly membership fee. They shop without additional cost, using points which are distributed according to household size.
