Jan Norris: Food and Florida

The West Palm Beach co-op model is copied in Delray Beach

On Saturday, residents in South Palm Beach County will get their own food co-op – a helping hand to get fresh fruits and vegetables and other staples at a deep discount. The Rise and Shine Food Co-Op in Delray Beach is a project run by a grant to the Boys & Girls Club, Palm Beach County, from the Quantum Foundation.

Twice monthly, residents who sign up receive three bags of fresh produce, bread, and household staples for $30.

There is no restriction on who is eligible. 

Read all about it in my story in the Broward New Times.
