Hot weather update

We have made the decision that on days when the local temperatures are scheduled to reach 90 degrees that we are pulling all canned foods from the pantries the night before or the morning of the hot day.

Canned food can spoil and sometimes explode in high temperatures and although most of the foods we offer don’t stay on the shelves long enough, we want to make sure we are offering great care.

We are asking all our pantry parents and fridge fosters to pull those canned foods from your shelves and if you need assistance with that, please reach out to us.

This is also a reminder to watch the temperatures in your fridges during the hot weather. If your fridges can’t maintain a cool temp, then please remove all perishable foods and stick with fluids.

Please keep the hot temperatures in mind when you are dropping stuff off at the pantries and fridges and stick with heat safe foods like snacks and fluids.
