Will you accept SNAP or WIC? Unfortunately we are unable to accept SNAP and WIC for the boxes due to regulatory requirements and because we presently do not have adequate storage and the boxes must be pre-paid prior to order.
Is this a subscription program with a commitment? No. Each order cycle we will post the list of items we plan to include in that cycle’s curated box plus a rotating variety of a la carte items. Simply review the package and decide if you wish to opt in. No commitment necessary.
Do you offer split boxes? Unfortunately, we are unable to split boxes. All items must come and be sold pre-packaged to meet health department requirements. We encourage you to go in on a box with a neighbor or donate unwanted items via our donation box.
Can we return/reuse our bags? Due to Covid-19 we cannot reuse your bags for the Basics Box but if you purchase a la carte items, we encourage you to bring these bags in to collect those items provided you do your own bagging. We hope to provide a bag reuse area in our store after the risk with covid has passed. Stay tuned.
