Food For All Policy Update
Due to recent changes at the federal government level, we have updated our Food For All (FFA) Policy.
Open enrollment period ends April 30, 2026
If you applied prior to 2025, you will need to re-apply. Those who apply/applied for our Food For All program in 2025 through February 28, 2026 will need to re-apply in the next Open Enrollment period, which will be in 2027.
The Food For All discount will be reduced to 15%. Due to nationwide cost increases, we are not financially able to continue offering a 20% Food For All discount. We partially rely on our Round-Up at the Registers program to help supplement this discount.
We hope to be able to readjust this percentage in the future!
What’s Changing?
Food For All will now require annual re-enrollment during the open enrollment period.
A $10 annual re-enrollment fee will be required each year for administrative costs.
Income eligibility must be verified annually.
If you do not re-enroll during open enrollment, your additional 15% FFA discount will be suspended until the next enrollment period the following year.
Ownership
Food For All remains part of Co-op ownership.
Food For All ownership is a one-time $100 fee, payable in $25 monthly installments.
The additional 15% FFA discount applies to qualifying participants for one year at a time.
Ownership payments must remain current to maintain discounts.
The FFA discount excludes beer, wine, and THC products.
Eligibility
Participants must currently receive a government-approved, income-qualified assistance program. This will be verified during the open enrollment period.
We understand this is going to be a sudden change, but we are committed to assisting our community to the best of our ability. As we finalize these changes, we will be posting an FAQ on our website, but you can always reach us at the email below.
