Please note: CCD has been working hard to meet the needs of our clients. We have introduced the option to choose from two different types of Food Boxes - the Fresh Food Box, and the Pantry Essentials Box. See below for details.

Fresh Food Box
Our Fresh Food Box includes a variety of fresh produce and dairy items. Dairy items will vary and may include:
- eggs
- milk
- and yogurt
The fresh produce included in this box is locally sourced, giving clients a farm-to-table experience. Items may include seasonal fruits and vegetables.
The Fresh Food box is available to order weekly and costs $35.50. There is no charge for delivery
Pantry Essentials Food Box
Our Pantry Essentials Food Box allows clients to cook smart, waste less and maximize their grocery shopping dollars.
