Good FoodBox

Our once a month, $10 produce box helps you stretch your food dollar and feed your family better. We buy fresh produce in bulk from wholesalers and local farmers to help you get more good food for less $$.

How Does it Work?

• It’s easy! Come into our office on the first Wednesday of the month between 10am and 1pm, or the last Wednesday of the month between 11am and 1pm, and pay $10.
• We’ll give you a receipt for your box.
• On the second Wednesday of the month you come back with your receipt and pick up your box contents (bring bags) between 1:30 and 3:00pm at FoodShare, or between 11:30 and 12:30 at Brechin Church
• Once you get started, you can save a step by ordering next month's FoodBox at pick up time.

When is it Available?

• The ‘Box’ is put together on the second Wednesday of every month by a committed group of volunteers.
• We may call on you to help from time to time.

What's in it?

• As much as possible we like to buy local produce in order to support our local farmers.
• We also buy in bulk from produce suppliers.
• We shop around to ensure the best deals.
• If you were to buy the contents of the box yourself at the local grocery store you would likely pay double.
• We calculated that one box earlier this year had approximately 75 servings of fruits and vegetables. That amounts to two weeks worth of the Canada Food Guide Recommendations for an average adult.
