All About the Good Food Box – A Great Option, Especially for Families

Apr 8, 2011 | 12:16 PM

Smart Families Food Co-op is a local organization with more than 700 members in and around Prince Albert. Now in its eighth year, the SFFC works to promote healthy eating habits through its Good Food Box program.

The Good Food Box is an affordable and convenient way to access nutritious food on a regular basis. We make fresh, nutritious and affordable food available to you and the community through bulk buying. We purchase all items locally and utilize local producers when possible.

Our membership is widespread and includes individuals, students, seniors, families, daycare groups, health care providers, nutritionists, First Nations community members and community kitchen participants.

We are always eager to add to our membership and encourage anyone in the community who enjoys eating fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables at a lower cost to participate. The program is open to anyone in or around the community, regardless of income level or location.

Please help us spread the word about this worthy program. If you know someone in the Prince Albert area who might enjoy a Good Food Box, please let them know about us. Buying a Good Food Box is a great way to eat healthier while also saving time and money.

Our payment and pick-up locations include Riverbank Development Center, PA Arts Centre, Co-operative Health Centre, SIAST Woody’s Tuck Shop and Carlton Comprehensive High School. Please stop in at any of these locations to receive more information.

We are offering members a $10.00 and $20.00 Good Food Box. As a bonus, for every nine boxes you purchase – you will receive the 10th FREE! Can’t get out? We deliver!!
