The iHeart Community Calendar

One of the Food Bank's longest running programs, Food $en$e is a monthly food buying co-op for anyone who wants to stretch their grocery dollars. Food $en$e provides a monthly box of 12-15 staple grocery items at a discounted price.

There are no qualifications, no subscriptions, and no requirements to participate in Food $en$e.

The Food Bank partners with a number of host sites across our 11-county service area. Please note: Food Bank of Central New York does not take direct orders for Food $en$e. All orders are to be placed through your host site. 

Each package costs $20.50 without limitation to the number of packages you may buy. While the items vary from month to month, the package always includes:

• 4-5 meat items like chicken, ground beef or fish
• 4-5 staple pantry items like pasta, soup, and rice
• 2 fresh produce items like apples, carrots or oranges

Rotating monthly specials like stuffed pork chops, American cheese, meatballs, lasagna, and chicken tenders can be purchased in addition to the basic unit.

Order online and pick-up at the participating location most convenient for you (list of locations provided during order process).
