Jerry and I had a very productive meeting. Daily Bread has 3 different programs: Meals on Wheels, Soup Kitchen, and USDA Pantry (every 3rd Friday).
Details on each varied a great deal, so he opted to fill out an online survey on each individual program.

The idea of the mass distribution seemed to be something that he was hesitant about at first. After explaining that there might be a possibility to change some of the details he was a little more interested. It would work better for his organization and his clientele if he could distribute from his site instead of a central location. In order to make this work he would need a way to get the food transported to him and younger volunteers to do some of the lifting and sorting. I was thinking this would be a good opportunity for Gethsemane Baptist to help out with transportation, and maybe some summer students to help volunteer. He also does not have freezer space for storage so that is another obstacle to try and resolve.

Tuesday-Thursday toward the beginning of the month are the days that work best for his agency.
