TEMPORARY CHANGE IN HOURS

In order to further increase our staff and community safety, and to provide our small family of staff more time to rest, restock, and clean at the market, we are reducing the number of hours for walk-in food procurement.

We have reduced our staff down to those who are purely in isolation between the market and their home, for our staff safety and yours. Staff who are not present will be cared for as needed, they are still a part of our family. ANY profit made during this period will be paid forward to staff, community members/families in need.

Members of the community have opened grocery accounts to help pay for a backup generator, others have purchased gift-certificates for those in need – which Caliwala will match (a $25 sponsorship becomes a $50 store-credit).

SPECIAL WALK-IN HOURS AND “WISH LISTS” HOW TO PLACE ORDERS

Walk-ins are welcome from 10 am to 4 pm, and we kindly ask that the first hour (10 am – 11 am) is reserved for higher-risk members of our community (such as those over 60 years old and those with immunocompromised family members).

We also kindly request that grocery “wishlist” orders for same-day fulfillment are placed before 12 pm. Curbside pickup for these same-day orders will be from 4-6 pm. Any email orders placed after 12 pm are not guaranteed for same day, but will absolutely be filled the next day.

We will still be open, with these new hours, seven days per week. Special order requests are being accepted via email caliwalafoods@gmail.com for our weekly inventory orders, which go in on Mondays and are received Fridays.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We are here for you, for us, as a community. We are doing our very best to maintain a safe and reliable food source for our Caliwala families and neighbors.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
