What is our Affordable Food Program?
We believe that everyone should have access to nutritious, high-quality food. To battle food insecurity in our county, we created a program that provides eligible, low-income Member-Owners with a 10% discount on groceries, active for 6-month periods. This discount applies at both our Co-op locations; Quincy and Portola. Applying is easy and open to all members.
Do I Qualify?
Co-op Member-Owners participating in SNAP (Calfresh/food stamp benefits), or 18+ students with a valid student ID card are eligible to apply for the AFP discount.
How Do I Sign Up?
Members in good standing (either paid in full or current on equity payments) may submit an AFP application for review.
Application fliers are readily available at each register at our Quincy store, and at the outreach area of our Portola store. Simply fill out the back of the flier and hand it to one of our cashiers. If you are not yet a member, you must fill out a membership application first – membership application fliers are also available at our registers.
Once approved, benefits of a 10% discount, good for a period of six months, will be added to your member number account. Any member receiving AFP has the option to apply for renewal and will be continued in the program, as long as they still qualify.
*Co-op membership is $20 per person/annually until $300 is reached. All membership dues are treated as deposits and can be withdrawn at any point if you would like to end your membership.
Simple!
- The discount is valid in both stores and is tied to your membership.
- Renewing is as easy as signing up – one simple form!
- Sorry, no retroactive discounts if the discount expires or during waiting periods.
