MOUNTAIN FOOD RESCUE - Lynnie - 12-09-2024
EPIC FOOD PANTRY TONIGHT! MONDAY DECEMBER 9 FROM 5:30 TO 6:30PM
PLEASE COME RESCUE SOME AWESOME FOOD! AND PLEASE, BE SURE YOU TAKE SOME BRUSSEL SPROUTS!
Before I list some of the available items, we are going to try a couple of new ideas now that the weather is feeling like Winter!
First, Cemetery Road is still a little snowy and of course everyone will want to remember the speed limit on Lower Main and Cemetery Road is still 10mph!
Second, it will be COLD tonight so instead of opening the garage door we will want people to enter through the side door on the parking lot side of the building. We moved the intake desk to a different place and arranged the canned goods and drinks area shelves with a little gap in between so we can improve the bottleneck in that area. Just trying to do anything to increase the flow in the pantry so you don't have to wait so long to get into the warm area and to the foods you want to take home. If you have some constructive ideas on how to improve our traffic flow in the pantry, you can let the distribution volunteers know or you could respond to this post.
Third, we really did get a lot of food today! we picked up almost 1100 lbs from CFS and there was so much from Whole Foods and Ideal Market that we had to send one of our 3 drivers back to Boulder to pick up another carload! Keep in mind, what you don't take we need to get rid of tomorrow! If there's a no limit sign on an item please feel free to take what you can use
I'm going to just hit the Highlights on the food available.
We have MILK, EGGS, CHEESE! Lot's and lots of fruits and vegetables, greens, packaged greens, BRUSSEL SPROUTS, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, avocados, tomatoes, celery, onions, apples, oranges, lemons, limes, grapes, carrots, cucumbers and 23 giant veggie trays with dip! Maybe take one to the office?
Plenty of bread and other yummy baked goods including more Costco pies, pecan, pumpkin, and apple!
Lots of crackers, snacks, chips, drinks, canned goods, pantry items, Ramen etc.
Meats, We have whole Turkeys, ground chicken, chicken breasts, chicken drumsticks and really a bunch of stuff! I didn't put away all the food myself so I don't remember all the meat but the chest freezer is full, and 2 of the other refrigerators freezers are full! We did get more frozen pizzas!
Please consider coming tonight and please take a moment to consider how much money you are saving on this free food! Donations are greatly appreciated and needed!
