| In response to requests from our agencies for additional
high-protein items, the Food Bank started the Co-Agency Purchase Program (COA).
COA Products are purchase by the Food Bank in larger quantities at wholesale
cost to supplement the products traditionally donated. These products have
includes green beans, peaches, pork & beans, tuna fish, egg noodles,
spaghetti noodles, spaghetti sauce, corn, peanut butter, beef stew, and
personal care items. Purchasing in larger quantities and eliminating the
need for multiple trips by agencies has made this program a tremendous
benefit to member agencies. |
