Economic volatility and random acts of kindness. We must be prepared for both. Feed More’s new warehouse, refrigeration and kitchen are designed with these realities in mind.
This purpose-built space holds 1/3 more food, enables 18% more dry food storage capacity and creates 5X the freezer space. Plus, it’s completely climate controlled (which keeps everything fresh longer).
These efficiencies, and so many more, are critical to helping ensure the ever-evolving needs of this community are met and that healthy food is there when our neighbors need it most.
Brrrrr
At -5°F below zero, our ability to store healthy protein and opportunistic donations has just expanded – a lot. And our reliance on outside storage has been eliminated. That was a big expense that nearly quadrupled during the pandemic, and again during the supply chain disruptions.
It’s chilly in here
We love our new chill receiving room. It ensures cold things that are getting unloaded stay cold. With dedicated dock doors, this space allows 18-wheelers to back right up and unload donated produce and refrigerated goods right into a climate-controlled room. This means better product for our neighbors, and less food waste.
Getting a move on
10 dock doors (vs. two in the old space) allow us to quickly turn produce and protein and get it into the hands of the neighbors who need it. And for this mission, that’s what it’s all about.
