June 2022 Food Rescue

This month our food collections were 3308 pounds. We continued working on establishing commissary agreements with a kitchens so that we can package donations of bulk prepared foods so that they can get to people in need. We did sign a commissary agreement with the Keystone Conference Center on June 3. We are allowed the use of some cold storage and dry storage space here. But this kitchen is way out at one corner of the county. We are still searching for something more central. We have a retail license at the Summit Community Care Clinic. We have applied for a wholesale license so that we can give food to other organizations to distribute. We are talking with Colorado Mountain College and our county department of public health about additions food access points. There is still interest in a mobile pantry. We need our own freezer space and a little more robust flow of food to make that happen, but we are moving that direction.
