PACKING AND SORTING SHIFT OPERATIONS (work in progress!)

• Everything you need should be located on the shelfs, or in the bins. Bins should be labeled to help you find what you need.
• Each pantry should be getting 10-12 fresh direct bags of food
• In order to keep things organized for drivers and tablers, each pantry is color/food coded by fresh direct bags

61 st = reds/ cherry/strawberry 🍒

Woodside Houses = blueberries🔵

Sorting and packing for our pantries will never be an exact science. We have lots of food that is donated to us and a lot of it can be sort of random. Sorting can be put into 2 categories STUFF WE (should) ALWAYS HAVE and **RANDOM STUFF. “**Stuff we should always have” falls under the category of things we mostly purchase with our pantry supplies budget. “Random stuff” is mostly things that are donated to us.

These are the minimum quantities that we should be putting in bags for each pantry each week:

STUFF WE ALWAYS (should) HAVE:

(Should fill about 8 fresh direct bags)

• 50-100 cans (soup/veg preferred)
• 50lb of rice (divided up into 1 quart containers worth scooped into a bag)
• 50lb of beans (divided up into 1 quart containers worth scooped into a bag)

RANDOM STUFF:

(Should fill 2-4 fresh direct bags)

• 20 pasta/ Mac and cheese (if on hand)
• 20 oil (if on hand)
• 20 peanut butter (if on hand)
• 20 snack packs (use a ziplock bag to gather a few small snacky items)
