Central West Baltimore Buying Club is more than a virtual Fresh at the Avenue. It is an emerging initiative to bring residents a safe, affordable and community-powered shopping experience.
What We Do
Skip the grocery store and join our collective buying power to order directly from food distributors, businesses and local makers to increase affordability, and reduce barrier to physical access.
More Than Produce
We provide direct delivery of produce, and an ever-expanding selection of baked goods, toiletries, herbal solutions, PPE and other household goods.
