ACA MEMBER TESTIMONIALS • Jane Sanborn of Sanborn Western Camps is a supporter of the Trinity/HPSI program since joining in November 2006 Jane said, “We have been members of Trinity/HPSI Purchasing Services for 8 years and have annually saved up to 15% on our food purchases through Trinity's agreements with our suppliers. Through Trinity we have also saved on office supplies, maintenance supplies, and housekeeping supplies. Trinity has a large supplier directory and they continue to add new suppliers each year. They also provide outstanding customer service.” • John Farmer of the Don Lee Center is a supporter of the Trinity/HPSI program since joining in December 2005 John said, “We have received great service and great savings through Trinity Ministries. I have always looked at Steve Claypool as a partner in ministry. His interest seems to be that which will support our ministry. It helps a lot to know that pricing is controlled under the HPSI contracts so our staff don’t have to spend a lot of time dealing with sales people and comparing prices. In addition to huge savings on food service, the non-food agreements have been a significant help. Arrangements for free shipping and next day delivery is huge. We try to never need to go to town to shop, a 60 mile round trip at best. I have evaluated other GPO programs but have always found Trinity/HPSI to be the best.”

This is a significant benefit as the servicing sales representative no longer has the ability to increase prices. • Manufacturer Allowances - HPSI negotiates directly with hundreds of manufacturers / brands and thousands of items to reduce the distributor’s cost to which the set margin is applied • Incentives & Rebates provide further savings • Delivery Size Incentive • Prompt Payment Incentive • Rebates
