Above is an example of a typical Food $en$e unit of food for $20.50. St. Mark did a comparison shop at a local grocery store and the cost for a similar unit was more than double!

Food $en$e at St. Mark
Food $en$e is a cooperative buying program of the CNY Food Bank. St. Mark the Evangelist is a West-side Syracuse site for ordering and delivery of the monthly Food Sense items. Each month, the Food Bank offers a different unit of food along with monthly specials. You do not need to order a unit to purchase food special add-ons. No substitutions can be made for the units of food. If there is an item you do not want, you may give it to someone in need or donate to our Food Pantry. Delivery of orders is normally the third Wednesday of the month between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
What is it? Food $en$e offers the opportunity to stretch your food budget by purchasing quality food at a discount.
Who is eligible? EVERYONE is eligible to purchase food from Food $en$e. No donated food is used in this program. It’s a buying club – so there is no income requirement.
How does it work? It’s SIMPLE. Order and pay in advance at our site. Cost is ALWAYS $20.50 per unit. Multiple units may be purchased, and/or single specials — YOU choose!
