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
The Central West Baltimore Buying Club is more than a produce program, it’s a community-driven effort to make healthy, high-quality goods accessible and affordable for everyone.
While our foundation is fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs, our growing inventory also includes natural household and personal-care products, herbal remedies, and unique items crafted by local community vendors. From body and hair care to home essentials and aroma products, each purchase supports neighborhood entrepreneurs and helps build a more sustainable local economy.
We continue to offer delivery and curbside pickup to make shopping convenient for all members. By supporting the Buying Club, you’re investing in community health, economic empowerment, and the shared vision of a stronger Central West Baltimore.
