Did You Know...?

• M&S Foods is the State of Florida's largest human services group purchasing organization for food.

• Group purchasing organizations account for more than 85% of all hospital purchases nationwide to lower and control cost, with a combined volume of over $60 billion annually. 40% of those hospitals are faith based.

• Purchasing your foodservice needs at a supermarket or a Sam's Club etc. can add as much as 30% hidden cost to your bill when factoring in shoppers salary and today's high fuel cost. How much is your time worth as an owner operator?

• Products sold in Sam's club, Costco etc are not true Foodservice bulk sizes or the same quality .The vast majority of products offered are merely “super family size” or multi-pack which really do not offer the higher yield, quality and value of true foodservice products.

•  Your organization could be liable when you or an employee/member is running business errands and have the misfortune of getting into an  accident.

•  70% of all residential Florida Dept.of  Juvenile Justice contract facilities (many are also funded by DCF) are participants in the M&S Foods Buyers group and have been for years.

• Participation in the M&S Buyers Group is not based on the size of your operation.
