Brighton Food Coop Gallery
Here are some scenes from a typical Brighton Food Coop distribution. All distributions are held in the roomy, well-lighted, and nicely climate-controlled basement of Chilson Hills Church.
| Former and current BFC Treasurers, Dolores Johnson and Denise Hauk, collaborate on billing paperwork. | Dolores and Denise are really beaming now -- they're almost done! |
| The UNFI driver relaxes for a moment after the truck has been offloaded. | Marilyn Mitchell (BFC Secretary) and Amy Ray check in, break out, and sort yogurt and other refrigeratable items. |
| Marilyn and Amy are at it again, this time weighing and bagging bulk items. | Greg Smith, Diane Brady, and Deb Frazier use the cart to distribute some of the goodies. |
| Nicole Brown (Produce Coordinator) and Karen Klann prepare to tackle the delivery from B&B Organics. | Nicole uses her laptop to calculate the cost of the produce shares. |
| BFC Vice President Terra Bullock sorts out Small Picks. | Nancy Nowak pauses to reenergize -- with both an energy drink and a cup of coffee! |
| BFC President Gina Barnowsky settles in with her kids Syriana, Gideon, and Declan while Treasurer Denise Hauk looks on... | ... but Syriana and Gideon are already off and running! |
| Bryan Battjes tethers his dog to a door handle as he prepares to go out to get the Zingerman and Rosewood orders from his car. Denise looks on while holding Declan. | Denise leads the Distribution Meeting (aka Circle Meeting). |
| Nuts/Honey/Syrup Coordinator Tina Pospeshil pauses for a healthy snack with her son, Lucas. | Syriana tries to help her mom at the copier. |
| The 3D Team (Diane, Dolores, Denise) works on finalizing bills. | Tina and Outside Vendor Coordinator Christie Winch get ready to check out as Deb cleans up in the background. |
| Nichole Patrick helps Terra with the Extras Table inventory. | Christie, Karen, and Nicole discuss how the distribution has gone as they prepare to check out. |
