The Community Kitchen Good Food Box is a program that has been offered in Cochrane since 2016, at first by a lady who lived in Heartland and would have people stop by her house to grab their box from her garage.
With the start of the pandemic in March of 2020 + more boxes than her garage could handle, the decision was made to move the program to Bow Valley Baptist Church.
The Good Food Box Program (GFB) allows for anyone to purchase a box of fresh fruits and vegetables at an affordable price. The boxes are put together by a group of dedicated volunteers (in Calgary) and then dropped off at the church in Cochrane for pick-up.
Orders for the Good Food Box are placed once per month (see schedule) using a Google Form that is posted to the Cochrane Good Food Box Facebook Page.
Payment is made by e-transfer and should be submitted at the same time the form is filled out.
Pick-up days are on Wednesdays, with the start time for pick-ups depending on when the truck arrives and is unloaded in Cochrane (usually around noon).
Pick-ups must be made by 6pm or the remaining boxes are donated. Note: It is okay to have a friend or neighbour pick-up your food box, just note that in the Google Form.
Three sizes of boxes are available:
Small – $40 (20-25lbs)
Medium – $45 (25-30lbs)
Large $50 (35-40lbs)
