Client choice is providing clients with a choice in what items they bring home. Clients shop in a grocery store atmosphere and select a number of items based on their family size. Research done by the Waste Not Want Not Project found that if people are given random selections of food that up to half the food given will not be consumed by the intended clients. It is important to Project 66 that needs are met and the best way to do this is to provide clients with healthy options. Food is distributed according to the number of persons in a house hold and divided on the pantry shelves according to category. For example: if you have four people in your house you may choose six items from the veggie shelves. These items are tomato sauce, carrots, potatoes, green beans the list goes on. The pantry also offers large amounts of bread, pastries, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Over the past few years the pantry has focused on raising funds to move into and eventually purchase a larger building. Project 66 Food Pantry is excited to announce that on January 9, 2017 the doors will open to the new Food Resource Center. A new building demonstrates Project 66’s ability to create goals and meet them.
Becoming a Food Resource Center was an excellent step for the pantry. This means an increased partnership with The Regional Food Bank. The Food Resource Center
