The Saint John Food Purchasing Club is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that has been in operation since May, 1997. The goal is to help members in our community stretch their food dollar by offering access to good quality vegetables and fruit at affordable prices.
- Orders are available in two sizes: $15.00 or $25.00.
- The money is pooled together and we buy direct from wholesalers in bulk to take advantage of lower prices!
Pay for the order you want ($15 for one large reusable shopping bag or $25 for two bags) by the order date each month (listed below). Pick up your order on pick-up day (the following Friday) between 12:00 p.m.– 3:00 p.m. You do not need to buy an order every month – just when it is beneficial to you! The orders may not be ready for pick up before 12 p.m.
