HOW THE STAPLE GOODS PROJECT WORKS

The National Staple Goods Purchase Project (SGP) takes place bi-annually with 80+ cities currently participating throughout the U.S., Bermuda and The Virgin Islands. 

Cities are represented by Staple Goods City Coordinators. For a city to participate, they must have a minimum total order of 500 lbs. Orders are placed online and each Coordinator can keep up with all orders for their respective city.

Coordinators will keep participants abreast of the process. You will be advised as to when online ordering begins and ends; when the payment phase begins and ends and how to get your payment to the Staple Goods Project. You will also be notified when products will be received at your pick-up location so that YOU can pick up your products when they arrive. “We Don’t Have No Drone To Bring It To Your Home!” Products are picked up at your Coordinator’s designated location within 3 days.
