Membership Rights and Responsibilities

Anyone interested in placing an order for a fresh produce bag must first join as a member of the Community Food Smart club.  

The annual membership fee is $1,00

Membership can be taken out for an individual or for a family living at the same address.  Membership is not transferable from one person or family to another.

The goal of the program is to enable members to access affordable food at  convenient locations. Members are encouraged to sign up with a Distributor located close to where they live, work or study. 

Members place their order and pick up their packages with the same Distributor they applied to for membership. 

Membership can be transferred from one Distributor to another, so that you can obtain the most convenient arrangements for placing and picking up orders.

Members agree to pay in advance for food orders and by the due date. Cash payment can only be paid to the corporate office.

Checks can not be accepted as payment.

Members can decide to opt in or out each month, purchasing when they feel they will benefit. 

Members agree to return clean recyclable produce bags to the Distributor when placing their order or pay a fee to cover the cost of replacing the bag.

Members agree to pick-up their orders from the same Distributors that they chose when registering.  Pick up times commence at 1:00 pm and continue until the close of the office.  Bags must be picked up expediently to ensure maximum freshness.

All bags will contain the same variety of contents.  Members may make any changes and substitutions they wish with other members.

Members may volunteer to help sort fruits food and pack bags at the packing center, deliver produce bags to Distributors and participate on evaluation committees.
