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 cereal or soup flavors or the type of pasta 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, your statements will be posted to “Open AR” on Network Hub. The person who is listed on your program’s account as the primary contact and a finance contact if one is listed. If the correct contact at your agency is not able to access invoices on Network Hub, contact Codi Wayton at (203) 741-9215 or email them at cwayton@ctfoodshare.org and they can update your program information.
Invoices are posted to Open AR 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.
