Tackling Food security with Buy-In-Bulk

Dear NOAH supporter,

With the cost of food spiraling out of control, our elderly are really struggling to make ends meet. They are either skipping meals or borrowing money from one another to make it through each month. You may be feeling it too. The situation is dire.

But there is a solution.

NOAH resident Ron has come up with a self-help solution, Buy-in-Bulk, or affectionately called BIB. We are hoping for your ‘buy in’ too.

Best wishes,
Anne Dobson
Director

PS: I know this project will work as I have the full support of the residents. I am 100% committed to making it work. We just need the initial funds to give it a kick-start.”

HOW IT WORKS

  • Residents place their staple food orders with BIB
  • Using NOAH’s collective buying power, BIB buys at wholesale prices and passes on the discount
  • Stock is stored in a shipping container at one of the NOAH houses
  • On payment, buyers collect their goods or have them delivered for a small fee

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

To kick start BIB, we need to raise start-up money to rent a five metre shipping container, install shelving and purchase stock. Since we all need to eat well and save, this solution ticks many boxes. Any contribution you can make towards this great initiative will be so appreciated!

Thank you for your ongoing support of our NOAH residents.
