News from God’s Pantry Food Bank
Are you constantly seeking lower cost options for meeting your organizations food needs? Want to see something exciting?
Watch the inventory for cost reductions in COOP and better offerings in donated product. We are working on volume buys in COOP to help reduce costs. The key to buying in larger quantities is the support of our agencies in ordering the lower cost products, so we can sustain the program and provide you with even greater savings. If you do not see what you are regularly buying on the inventory, ask us to carry it.
To increase the food offered in donated product, we are looking for new sources and acting aggressively by accepting large quantities from sources. Currently we are offering hominy and canned beans and increased produce. We are starting a partnership to get in repackaged product, look for pasta, and possibly “brite” cans; brites need labels. Are you willing to apply labels to brites, if we supply the labels?
If you know of food sources we might not be aware of please share your information with your agency services representative. Working together we will continue to make significant strides in meeting the needs that are presented to us throughout central and eastern Kentucky.
