We’re proud to have a thriving Suspended Meals & Drinks program at the Food Co-op. It is a way of helping to re-distribute wealth to benefit our community – it’s great for members who are doing it tough to feel supported, and get a hearty, nutritious meal or hot drink!
If you are financially secure, you can buy a suspended lunch or coffee and the Food Co-op will make a record of this to give to someone in need at a later time. Just ask the Coordinator at the till to add a suspended meal or drink along with your order.
If you’re strapped for cash, you can ask the Coordinator at the café till to receive a suspended lunch or coffee. The Co-op will happily give you a suspended lunch or coffee.
