5 Tips for Buying CarePoint Food

We purchase thousands of pounds of food every month to feed our 500+ kids at the Care Point.  Here's Diane's top five things to know when buying food for the Care Points:

5.  The Indian shop owners will always negotiate if you show them the money.  They even sweat just a little bit more when you turn around and start walking away.

4.  Good transport is a must, yes broken down pick-up trucks with bald tires that will carry about 1200 lb of food and a goat will work on a good day.

3.  If you try to buy at noon you will be left outside in the hot sun until the shop opens again at 2.  Everything closes down from 12-2pm here.

2.  She's making a list, checking it twice . . . 

1.  Have a strong back because these dudes weigh over 100lb a bag.
