Grocery Purchasing Program

Program Overview

Through the Grocery Purchasing Program (GPP), Connecticut Foodshare purchases high-demand products by the tractor-trailer load and resells them to your program at our cost, saving you time and money. Below are the items that are typically in stock through our Grocery Purchasing Program. Please note that some items may vary slightly, such as the type of beans offered, depending on availability.

Ordering GPP Product

When ordering food, items in the GPP will be clearly marked with GPP in the description. Partners can filter their shopping cart to show only GPP items to make it easier to view items in the category. Your shopping cart summary will show the total amount due for GPP items placed in your cart.


If your program does not have funds to purchase food, you can request that category be hidden from your shopping cart on Network Hub. If you wish to do this, email Sherry Grant at sgrant@ctfoodshare.org.

Paying for GPP

At the end of each month, the person listed as the Main Contact, as well as the Financial Contact (if one is listed), will receive an email with the statement attached during the first week of the month. Statements are also available in the Documents section on Network Hub.


If the correct contact at your agency is unable to access statements and invoices on Network Hub, please reach out to Codi Wayton at (203) 741‑9215 or email cwayton@ctfoodshare.org. They can assist with updating your program information.


Statements are sent only for programs that have a balance due. Programs are asked to pay their balance within 30 days of posting the statement.

 

All checks should be made payable to Connecticut Foodshare. Please include your agency ID number on your check to assure the payment is credited to the correct account.
