Central West Baltimore Buying Club

Who We Are

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.

What CW Baltimore Buying Club Can Offer You

Online Ordering

Order online through No Boundaries Coalition’s website, Instagram or text reminder.

Diverse Selection

Choose from local and national brands of produce, grocery staples and prepared foods.
