Your Food Co-op and the COVID-19 Virus

by | Mar 15, 2020 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

As is everyone world-wide, your Yelm Food Co-op staff is having to deal with the impacts of the Corona virus, COVID-19.

This runs everywhere from shortages on some items that are in high demand because suppliers can’t deliver to customers calling from the parking lot asking for staff to put together an order for them and bring it out to their car.

Because all of this is new, we all have to use common sense in how we interact with each other and our places of business. The YFC will do its best to keep things in stock that we know our customers and members want like fresh produce, milk, eggs, butter {Wine :-)} and supplements.

We are also doing our best to keep the store sanitized for your shopping safety.

Stay well!!
