PINCO, Partners in Nutrition Cooperative, is the only self-managed Co-Operative USDA Receiving Agency and Purchasing Group in California. Each Member District assigns its earned NSLP entitlement into PINCO’s single-bank inventory.  Direct delivery commodities are scheduled strategically to arrive throughout the year. Diverted commodities are ordered, received, stored and delivered to Member Districts’ schools on-demand to meet their sponsorship and participation needs. Member Districts utilize this website designed to manage inventories, source agreements and resource materials involving their USDA Foods. PINCO Representatives sit on CDE’s Food Distribution Program’s Advisory Committee. This engagement in addition to serving the American Commodity Distribution Association (ACDA) on various Sub-committees provides PINCO a direct conduit of information and clarity to facilitate the needs of PINCO’s constituents and vendors.
