The Pantry

The Community Food Club is a non-profit, member-based grocery store in Grand Rapids, MI, offering an innovative and dignified approach to food security. With a focus on consumer choice and member participation, low-income individuals can become members for a 30-day period, paying a nominal fee and shopping using points based on their household size. The club prioritizes fresh produce, making fruits and vegetables the most affordable items, while processed foods and snacks are priced higher, incentivizing healthy eating and increasing access to nutritious foods. By providing 9 to 11 days' worth of food during each membership period, the Community Food Club has significantly improved members' lives, offering them more access to fresh produce, increased food security, and an improvement in meeting basic needs. With a commitment to always stocking fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, milk, and eggs, the club ensures that its members have consistent access to healthy food options. Through its unique approach, the Community Food Club is making a positive impact on the community's food security and promoting healthy eating habits.Generated from the website
