Partners In
Hope Food Co-op
To order call: 604-929-3552 or
604-862-0873
Purpose
Members of this co-op will be pooling their resources to purchase foods
in bulk and then distribute them in individuals meal portions. The
focus of our efforts in this food co-op is to ensure we have a variety
of nutritious food to eat throughout the month -- particularly the last
couple of weeks in the month and during the 5th week of a 5 week month.
Participants
Anyone on a fixed or limited income is welcome to participate in the
co-op. Financial need will be assessed but the purpose is to help each
other extend limited resources during times of financial stress and
challenge. A typical co-op member would be one receiving income
assistance, pensioners, someone entering the workforce at a part-time
salary with limited income, or someone experiencing financial hardship
through employment layoffs or job loss.
Placing Orders
Please place your order Monday to Wednesday, 9AM—6PM for delivery or
pick-up on Friday.
It is essential to know if you are ordering because fresh foods are
purchased for the number of individuals who are participating in the
co-op that week.
Order by 6PM Wednesday for delivery on Friday
Phone: 604-929-3552
Cell: 604-862-0873
Fax: 604-648-8450
Pick-Up Date
The co-op operates on Fridays. Food is delivered in the following
areas: 33rd Avenue and north to Coal Harbour, Boundary Road and west to
Main Street, and the West End. Other orders can be picked up at the
co-op or arrangements made for a convenient meeting place within the
delivery areas noted above. Delivery or pick-ups are scheduled between
12 – 2 or 2 – 4 p.m. on Fridays. Note: You MUST be home during delivery
times or arrange for someone to receive the food for you.
Payment
It is suggested that payment for the entire month be made right after
“cheque day” so food is available throughout the month on a weekly or
bi-weekly basis. Payment must be made in advance of receiving food.
Payment can be made when food is picked up or delivered. Because of
high costs for cheques that do not clear the bank, payment must be made
in cash or money order.
BONUS:
If you order each week and pay by the month you get a discount and a
bonus. If you order $25 boxes, instead of paying $100.00 at the new
prices you only pay $90.00. If you order a $12.50 box each week and pay
by the month, instead of paying $50 at the new prices you pay only
$45.00. Further, once a quarter there is the long 5-week month, and if
youare ordering regularly you get that 13th week order free.
Standard Package Contents
Costs of the food packages are kept to a minimum through bulk buying
according to the number of weekly co-op participants. Therefore, the
contents of the packages are set. On occasion, minimal adjustments are
made, if possible, for someone suffering from particular food
allergies. However, any combination of food packages can be ordered
from week to week throughout the month. For example, a $25 package
(Estimated to feed one adult well for 3 meals a day for one week) can
be combined with any $12.50 package for a $37.50 order. A $25 package
can be ordered one week and a $12.50 another week and so on. We suggest
you look in your cupboards and order packages based on what you need.
