How It Works
Anyone can join the Pandemic Pantry. There are three simple rules to follow as a member:
On weeks that you’ve placed an order, read all the emails so that you’re informed of any last minute changes or details.
Be flexible, as things like product availability can change mid-week.
Be responsible for your weekly share. We do our best to pack all the orders correctly, but we sometimes make mistakes. Please check the contents of your bag when you pick up your order.
Placing an Order
On Monday evening you will receive an email with a link to a Google form with the names, units available and prices of the products we’re offering that week. You can order as much or as little as you like of each product based on the unit. As an example - salad greens are offered in 1/4 LB units. If you want 1 LB of salad greens, order 4 bags.
Order Deadline and Late Orders
The order deadline is Wednesday at 10AM.
If you miss the deadline and want to place a late order - go for it! You may not get everything you want but we’ll do our best.
Pick-up Location & Times
The Pandemic Pantry is located at 705 S. 50th Street.
Pick up days and times are:
Friday from 3pm-7pm
Saturday 11am-2pm
Pick-up Details
Tables are set up outside. When you arrive, look to see if there is an empty table: if not, wait at a safe distance until the person in front of you has finished. When a table becomes available, tell us your last name and we will bring your bag to the table.
A “pick sheet” listing the items you ordered and the total amount you owe will be stapled to your bag. It is your responsibility to check the contents of your bag against the pick sheet. If something is missing, tell us and we’ll fetch it for you. If we don’t have the missing item, we will remove it from your total.
Payment Details
You will pay for your share at pick up. Things can change at the last minute and we sometimes need to adjust the total amount on your pick sheet. For this reason, we don't ask for payment ahead of time.
We prefer payments be made by credit card. If you are unable to use a credit card, we ask that you pay with cash or Venmo.
Products Prices & Fees
A $4.00 service fee is added to every order.
Products at the Pantry are priced between 20-30% above wholesale, except beer which is the retail price plus 8% sales tax.
