The Good Food Box is a fresh fruit and vegetable distribution system operated by the Good Food Box Committee. It runs like a large buying club, with centralized purchasing and co-ordination. Individuals place orders for boxes with volunteer drop-off coordinators in their neighborhood. Food Box customers purchase top-quality fruit and vegetable and volunteers pack the boxes. Each box contains the same mixture of produce, though the contents change with each delivery, depending on what is in season and reasonably-priced at the time.
