Good Food Box orders are non-refundable. You are most welcome to send someone to pick up your bag on your behalf. However - if you miss picking up your Good Food Box on your designated day and location, rest assured that it will find a good home. All boxes that are not picked up on time are donated to ensure that the food is used while it is still fresh and tasty.
