Growing Connections: AJ Fossel and the Community Food Club

The Community Food Club exists to provide a culturally appropriate, dignified shopping experience for all Kent County residents faced with food access challenges. The Club offers an innovative and dignified approach to food security rooted in consumer choice, member participation, and access to healthy foods. Open since 2015, the organization operates as a grocery store where member households pay $11-15 for a 30 day membership and are given an allotment of points based on their household size. In this model, fruits and vegetables are the lowest priced items and processed foods and snacks are the highest priced. 

Learn more about the Community Food Club from Executive Director AJ Fossel and take a virtual tour of the space at our second Growing Connections event on December 13 at 12:30 PM.
