Editor's Notes
- Step One: Create a general policy limiting the types of items we can purchase. Backpack Program Bulk Purchase Program Repack Program Emergency Food & Shelter Program Step Two: Create a policy that limits the type of food we can distribute. Phase 1 – No soda, candy or energy drinks Phase 2 – No juice (unless 100%), sport drinks Phase 3 – No ice cream or snacks What sets us apart is we don’t deny any donations. We compost and recycle the items that don’t meet our policy.
