Six days a week, the apple-solutely (😊) awesome volunteers sort hundreds of thousands of pounds of food. Sorting through the food ensures that every box will be filled with only the most wholesome, healthy, and safe foods. Once sorted, the volunteers pack 2,000 shelf stable boxes each week! These boxes are full of cereal, canned goods, rice, pasta, and other pantry staples.
Our partner agencies (food pantries, youth programs, senior programs and more) order the food items – nonperishables, dairy, meat, produce and frozen items – that best meet their community’s needs. Our staff and volunteer teams pack these partner orders to go back to go back out onto the trucks.
Crunch and the Produce Pals began their journey with our drivers in the truck, and they are now back on the truck on the way to our local communities.
We could not support our neighbors without the support of our community. Thank you for generously investing in our mission. Donors, volunteers, partner pantries….it takes a village!
In the next installment, Crunch will roll into a partner pantry…see you then!
