"We have been delighted with the
Consorta Program! We have saved a
significant amount (20% or more) on our
food purchases from SYSCO! As a nonprofit
in a tightening economy, Consorta was just
what we needed to make our dollar go farther! We
are grateful to ACA for offering such a
valuable resource. It has more than
paid for our ACA Membership!"
