- investing in member shares (in household and misc section!)
- recommending NOWBC to a neighbour or friend
- placing a grocery order every week (105 orders every week is where NOWBC will currently break even)
Expanding Selection: We need to expand our offerings! The more "inventory" money the co-op has, the larger the selection will be. This is a crucial time to be investing because NOWBC has also just been awarded a grant from the Cooperative Development Initiative to pay labour to expand the co-op (yay!), but we need to raise our own funds for inventory or this grant money for labour cannot be utilized.
Delivery Vehicle: Our old delivery truck has become too costly to maintain and operate. As a short term solution the co-op is renting a van. As a result the cost of delivering food is higher than expected, leading to a forecasted budget shortfall.
Thank you for supporting sustainable local foods and NOWBC.
Sincerely,
Your NOWBC Board of Directors

Do you have groceries you would like to regularly order?
Is it hard to remember to place a NOWBC order as often as you'd like?
Let us order for you! Just tell us what you want and how often, and we will send you food. For fresh produce, give us a dollar amount and we can send you a misc selection, just like a summer CSA box.
Email your standing order to orders@nowbc.ca or click here for more information.

HOW
IT WORKS
NOWBC
sources most foods directly from local BC farms and processors.
Individuals place their orders through our on-line catalog and
food is delivered once a week to neighbourhood depots (a NOWBC
member's home) where customers pick-up their orders. Each depot
and the customers who pick-up there make up a NOWBC club. Join a
club by emailing the contact listed in our delivery depot list,
then register and place an order! --more--
