I am hoping to use this blog to share tips and recipes with people and to also promote the Hinesville-Willowbrook Plaza pick up location for Bountiful Baskets in Liberty County Georgia. If you haven't heard of it before, Bountiful Baskets is a volunteer run non-profit food co-op for families that want to
have more fresh produce for less money. The Co-op offers a conventional
produce basket every other week which is generally ½ fruit and ½
veggies. The monetary contribution is $15.00 and is generally worth
$50.00 retail. Organic baskets require a contribution of $25. The amount
for add-ons varies depending on the item.
There is a first
time basket fee of $3.00, and the processing fee is $1.50 and for Georgia there is a $5 fuel surcharge, which must
be paid every time you contribute. Your entire contribution is spent on
food, so the $6.50 is necessary to cover card processing, servers, fuel and
other expenses.
To participate visit http://www.BountifulBaskets.org/
and check the schedule to see when your state is available (Monday 12
noon to Tuesday 10pm) to make your monetary contribution using a debit
or credit card. Then, pick up your basket on Saturday at the time and
place you chose when you contributed! Willowbrook Plaza is located 1
Block from intersection of Veterans Parkway (formerly known as Frank
Cochran Drive) and Hwy 196.
Bountiful Baskets is not only available in Georgia but has locations all over the country and is expanding. It has been a great way for my family to eat healthy and save on the grocery bill. We often like to have little contests for participants to have some fun and sometimes we have snacks at the pick up site. Yesterday we had cookies and some granola to try. Currently our location has volunteer time at 3pm with the pick up at 4. Please follow our blog and stop by and like our Facebook and Pinterest pages.
