COMMUNITY MARKET REOPENS

Shopping is now available

 

In an effort to provide more service and more access to quality foods, the food bank is reopening our Community Market. 

 

As in the past, the Community Market will allow you to pick up available items such as additional bread, produce, and assorted food and nonfood products. 

 

When picking up your order at our distribution facility, you may shop for items to add to your order or you can make an appointment to shop only without ordering online. 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

You must use the following procedure to set up a SHOPPING ONLY APPOINTMENT (where you DO NOT have a warehouse order, but just want to shop):

  • Create a pickup appointment by using the scheduler

  • Browse the shopping list for an item called “Shopping Appointment” (Item# SHOP)

  • Add one SHOP item to your shopping cart

  • Click on CHECKOUT

  • Once in your shopping cart summary, select PICKUP from the drop down box, select your appointment date, then your time

  • Click on SUBMIT CART

Agencies that have created an online warehouse order for PICKUP will not need to add the SHOP item to their cart to shop in the Community Market because your online pick up order will automatically reserve a shopping appointment for your agency.

 


 

 

 

 

NEW AGENCY DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

 

Effective September 1, 2010

 

Starting September 1st, Roadrunner Food Bank will require a minimum weight of 400 pounds on all deliveries in the Albuquerque Metro and surrounding areas which include Los Lunas, Bernalillo, and the East Mountain area.  

 

Orders that are submitted that do not meet the minimum weight requirements of 400 pounds will need to be picked up at our warehouse.  

 

If you have any questions please contact Jesse Baldwin at 505-349-8690 or Bryan Vigil at 505-349-8686.


 

NEW FOOD BANK HOURS

 

Effective June 1, 2010

 

In an effort to cut costs and increase efficiency, the food bank has changed its operating hours.

 

The food bank is now closed on Saturdays and operates from 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday.

 

Agencies will no longer be able to pickup orders or receive deliveries on Saturdays.

 

Pickup appointments will be changed in July or August to provide longer time periods for shopping and more hours.

 

Please check back frequently for more information.


 

CHANGES IN BREAD DISTRIBUTION

 

Effective May 3, 2010

 

BREAD ORDERS will begin to follow the same rules as produce orders.  We are getting information from a growing number of agencies that the 35 lb boxes of bread they are ordering is moldy when they receive it.    

 

In order to continue to support those agencies who request bread, as with produce, all bread requests can only be entered two (2) business days prior to a scheduled delivery/pickup date.

 

Any order that is submitted that includes bread or produce prior to the two business day rule will be disapproved. 

 

Questions on this new ordering procedure should be directed to:

Thank you for your patience as we continue to explore various ways to support our Partner Agencies and your hunger relief programs.


 

CHANGES IN BREAD DISTRIBUTION

 

Effective October 26, 2009

 

Roadrunner Food Bank has been researching the most equitable, efficient and economical way to provide bread to Partner Agencies. 

 

Based on input from various Partner Agencies, and our capacity to support the many and varied suggestions, we are now purchasing boxes solely for the purpose of distributing bread to our Partner Agencies, rather than in 300 lb bins we used previously. 

 

Each bread box will now weigh 35 lbs and contain 10 loaves of bread and an assortment of other bread products (rolls, buns, English muffins, etc.). 

 

Roadrunner Food Bank will continue to provide bread at no cost to our Partner Agencies, however, a 60 cent Value Added Processing (VAP) Fee will be charged for each bread box ordered. 

 

This represents only a portion of the cost of these boxes, the Food Bank subsidizing the remaining cost.  These boxes are yours to use as you see fit.

 

Thank you for your patience as we continue to explore various ways to support our Partner Agencies and your hunger relief programs.
