Looking ahead to the New Year 2012!!!
1/18/2012 10:12:00 AM
As you know, 2011 was a year of change for the Food Bank. We are now settled in and ready to make this year a better year yet! By the end of the month, each agency representative will be receiving the yearly reports (how many pounds you received) as well as the new 2012 contract. We have made some revisions to our documents, you will receive a page highlighting all the main changes, as well as copies of all the new documents.
We also want to hear from all of you! We are hoping to host an “Agency Meeting” in March where we can learn and share best practices as well as figure ways to better serve our communities. More details will come out soon.
We are striving to become a more efficient organization for our community and we would not be able to do it without you. We are looking forward to another great year partnering with all of you!

Updates - Please read!
12/14/2011 4:01:00 PM
1. Fresh produce will no longer be offered via online. Fresh produce does not have a long life, and we need to move it quickly. We will add a note in Agency Express (like the one that pops up when you log in) letting you know what we have available and the last date of when it can be included in your order. Please write a note in the comment section when submitting the order and we'll add it for you.
2. We need your help when submitting orders. We need at least 48 business hours so we can prepare your orders. We do not work during the weekend or after hours. Our cutoff time will be 8 am every day. For example, you will have until Monday at 8 am to submit and order for Wednesday. Any order received after 8 am will be dated for your next appointment.
3. We are changing several items from pounds into cases!! This has been long awaited, but it is finally here! Some items changed are: assorted cereal, assorted canned foods, etc. Please note that we will still some items that are offered in pounds such like NE City Meat. Please pay attention on the units of measure when placing your orders.
4. We have a big shipment of water! Please order it as we need to distribute it by mid January.
5. Starting in January, we will include a brief survey via Agency Express to help us collect monthly information on how many people you serve in a consistent basis. Additional information will be coming out shortly.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Mariana
