What is Bountiful Baskets?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout my blogs I refer to a co-op that I belong to, the co-op is <\/span>Bountiful Baskets<\/span><\/a><\/span> and is based in the Metropolitan Phoenix area.\u00a0 I really enjoy my involvement with the co-op; it gives me a chance to give back to my community while providing something very valuable for my family, fresh nutritious food.\u00a0\u00a0 The amount of produce I receive for my $15 contribution is so much more than what I could buy in the grocery store for the same amount, and its fresher with a longer shelf life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nMy Involvement<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My involvement with the co-op started when I\u00a0read an article in the local paper about\u00a0a couple of woman who\u00a0had organized a co-op in the valley.\u00a0\u00a0They were helping families pool their money to purchase fresh produce from a local supplier, and then dividing it up\u00a0among the participants.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After two or three pick-ups I felt a need to volunteer at the pick-up site, I did that for a year, volunteering at three different sites.\u00a0 Each time they opened a new site closer to my home I would move to that site.\u00a0 I then\u00a0offered to open a distribution site\u00a0in our town (I thought it would be\u00a0a great benefit to our community), I\u2019ve been managing the site here since July, 2008.\u00a0 It’s great fun, I have some wonderful volunteers that make the distribution process a breeze and we have fun doing it, besides it\u2019s exciting to be the first to see what will be in that cycle\u2019s offering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nEating Healthier<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The co-op has changed my family\u2019s lives.\u00a0 We\u2019re eating healthier while saving on our grocery bill, and by volunteering we\u2019re helping other families in our community purchase fresh delicious produce at very affordable prices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If affordable nutrition is important to you, and you live in Arizona,\u00a0I highly encourage you to check out\u00a0the co-op’s\u00a0website and even try a produce basket.\u00a0 You can find out more at <\/span>www.bountifulbaskets.org<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
