About the Program
The Good Food Box program is a community based food distribution program designed to make good food more accessible to everyone in Timmins! Food is purchased at wholesale prices from grocers and farmers and those savings are passed on to anyone who wants to purchase a box.
Each Good Food Box contains a variety of veggies and fruits that change each month and includes a bilingual newsletter with nutritional information and recipes.
What's in it for you?
Savings: Customers save on average 25-30% from their purchases.
Variety: The variety of fruits and vegetables in the boxes changes month by month, depending on what is available from our suppliers.
Information: Each Good Food Box includes a bilingual newsletter that contains fun facts, storage and nutritional information, as well as a recipe for a featured food item.
A green conscience: We work with local farmers as much as possible to bring you seasonal and local foods that travel fewer food miles from field to table.
Purchasing decisions for the Good Food Box are made based on quality, value, variety, source proximity and season.
Deadline for Ordering
All orders must be made by the first Thursday of every month for your desired month of delivery.
Delivery Day
Good Food Boxes will be delivered on the third Thursday of every month.
Home Delivery
For now, our host site pick-up system has been put on hold as a result of COVID-19 and all boxes will be home-delivered. Boxes will be dropped off at the doorstep and the customer will be notified by a text or phone call that the box has arrived.
Health and Safety
Working with fresh produce means that maintaining a safe environment has always been a key priority of our team. Here are some of the things we are doing to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and your order:
- Increased sanitation of our working areas
- Our team is asked to remain at home should they show any sign of illness
- Our team is practising social distancing, which means that everybody who can is working remotely, and those remaining on our site are working from a safe distance from each other
- Our staff and volunteers use the Porcupine Health Unit recommended hand washing protocols
