At the Co-op, we believe everyone deserves access to healthful, high-quality foods that support a sustainable future for our planet, regardless of income level.
The Bloomingfoods for All program is actively reaching out to those in our community who are struggling to afford healthful food.
Cooperative Principle #7 - Concern for Community:
Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies approved by their members.
Co-op owner-members who are currently enrolled in SNAP and/or WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) are eligible for our everyday Bloomingfoods for All discount, which is applied automatically each time you are at the register.
Bloomingfoods for All is designed to reduce the cost barriers to healthful eating.
What is Bloomingfoods for All?
Bloomingfoods for All is a co-op affordability program that offers a standing 20% discount on all EBT eligible merchandise (excluding equity payments, gift cards, or beer & wine) for any owner-member who is currently enrolled in SNAP (EBT Food Stamps) and/or WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children). While we do not carry WIC eligible merchandise in our stores due to our Product Standards and the specific merchandise that is eligible through the WIC program, we want to make sure that we can help reduce the cost barriers to other merchandise available in our stores. This discount is applied automatically, however membership must be renewed annually.
