The ACA PurchasingPoint [1] program (available to ACA Accredited and Affiliated camps) is saving camps BIG money on food costs. From brownie mix to applesauce, you can supply your camp with quality food items for up to almost half the price! Check out these savings from one camp enrolled in the PurchasingPoint program this summer:
| Product | PurchasingPoint price | Paid last year | Savings |
| Brownie mix | $27.36 | $57.58 | $30.22 |
| Marzetti Salad Dressing ( in packets) | $15.79 | $20.84 | $5.05 |
| Applesauce | $15.12 | $21.40 | $6.28 |
Looking for other ways to save money on food this summer? If you are a not-for-profit camp, you can go to your local food bank and get a huge discount on food (make sure to bring proof of your not-for-profit camp status). Some banks even give away items that you can use.
And don’t forget! ACA’s PurchasingPoint program can also help your camp save money on maintenance, building supplies, and office supplies. Learn more here [1].
