Community Food Club

The Community Food Club is a non-profit organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It operates as a member-based grocery store, serving a vital role in the community with a team of 8 employees. The Community Food Club offers a unique shopping experience for low-income individuals and families. Members pay a nominal fee of $11 to $15 for a 30-day membership, which allows them to purchase groceries using a points system based on household size. Members typically receive enough food to last 9 to 11 days with each membership. The store emphasizes healthy eating by pricing fruits and vegetables at the lowest rates, while processed foods and snacks are priced higher, encouraging members to make nutritious choices. The Community Food Club distinguishes itself through its commitment to providing fresh, high-quality food. They consistently stock a wide selection of fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, milk, and eggs. This focus on fresh produce is reflected in the shopping habits of members, who choose fruits and vegetables 58% of the time, a significantly higher percentage than in traditional grocery stores.
