About this service
The Good Food Box (GFB) is a non-profit fresh fruit and vegetable distribution system created and operated by FoodShare.
The GFB runs like a large buying club with centralized buying and coordination. Individuals place orders for boxes with volunteer coordinators in their neighbourhood and receive a box brimming with fresh, tasty produce, on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly cycle. Customers benefit from the cost savings of bulk buying and time saved by this distribution method. Produce is touched by fewer hands, gets to them faster, and costs less. This means purchasing high quality, fresh food is within reach of many more people than the regular retail system.
FoodShares Good Food Box program functions as a social enterprise. It is an alternative distribution method that provides communities with affordable and accessible fresh food, and supports the economic development of the farming sector in Canada.
