March: Product Sourcing Update
We continue to see encouraging trends related to our nationally and regionally donated sourced product this year. One of these encouraging trends is the return of “bulk” foods. Bulk products are donated by manufacturers and others without their pretty packaging, like a branded box or bag. Instead, they might be donated in a large tote (saving the donor expense) which requires re-packing and labeling by our volunteers in our specially designed aseptic clean room. It’s the first time since the pandemic began that we’re seeing a regular supply of these items again. You’ll soon be seeing re-packed items (like cereal, rice, crackers, beans, etc.) in Agency Express. As a reminder to agency staff and volunteers, food products may only be re-packed in aseptic clean rooms. If you do not have this type of food-safe room on-site, product re-pack is prohibited.
