Opportunity BasketCommunity Food Cooperative Bulk-Buy Network (Southern Nevada)
A hyperlocal cooperative that aggregates bulk food purchases from food-insecure families, negotiates wholesale prices directly with regional distributors and farms, and delivers weekly boxes at 40-50% below retail. Families pay a small membership fee ($5-10/month) and receive weekly rotating boxes of staple proteins, produce, and pantry items. The cooperative operates as a B2B2C model: it contracts with local nonprofits, schools, and community centers as distribution hubs, reducing last-mile delivery costs.

Families save $100-200/month on groceries while getting fresher, more nutritious food than discount-store alternatives.
