Cash-Free Grocery Store at School Takes Payment in Points and Good Deeds


"The students walk around with a shopping cart like a regular store," Hughes said. "They collect what their family needs, not that they just get what we give them."
The seed money to open the store came from a grant from Texas Health Resources, which identified Sanger as a food-insecure area. Instead of paying for groceries, students are given points each week. They can get bonus points through good deeds, such as helping another student.
"You do a good deed, and you get something in return," Preston Westbrook said. Westbrook is an 11th-grader who serves as the store's assistant manager. "It makes me feel better that they're feeling good and not having the life struggles trying to figure out where they're gonna get their food, or money to be able to do this."
