Seasons Greetings to all of our partners in the Southeast Regional Cooperative!
There’s some really great product coming through the mixing center lately and this week is no exception. We have a load of beautiful potatoes in a convenient 4x10lb pack, large cabbage, sweet potatoes, green beans butternut squash and English cucumbers. All of this is headed out to food banks and their agencies this week!
