Here I will be honest about the processes and agreements we have in place. This helps with transparency and let's donors know exactly how far a generous gift can go in fulfilling our (and their) mission.

1. Each bag of food is deemed "a family sized" portion (share) by our farm affiliates. Each farm grows slightly different crops and harvests at slightly different times. P4P has no influence in those decisions. We simply buy "shares" and we buy the shares they are producing that week.
2. We spread our food purchases between our farm affiliates so that we minimize costs and maximize the amount of food delivered to the families. For instance, if we bundle 4 or more families based upon their location (nearby each other) we may get enough of a discount to purchase another bag. Simple logistics. The farmers are very good at this and we try to work with them by careful selection and pre-grouping our recipient list.
3. On average a single share costs P4P <~$40 delivered.
4. Our farm affiliates deliver throughout the county.
5. Deliveries usually occur on Wednesday and Thursday. This depends on the farm and their existing delivery infrastructure.
6. The schedules do not waiver, but there may be delays because of weather, traffic conditions and so on.
