Taking notes for folks that are not able to attend this session

April 6 we will be piloting our second training: Root causes of hunger, if you are interested in attending, please let us know by email so we can send you all the invite.

Rebeca- I'm just back from a national conference where a keynoter presented an amazing presentation on addressing racism. I'd love to send OFB her contact info for potential connections in the future.

Yes, please!

Would love to hear more, please connect us with them.

Meals on Wheels has announced that they will resume congregate meals on May 1 and lifting mask mandate.

Faith Cafe will meet tonight to decide about opening indoor dining.

For the Asian Food Pantry, we are STILL requiring masks (even for outdoor distribution).

Thanks Nancy and Alex!

For TFP we are continuing outdoor pre-packaged food box pick-up until May 1. We are encouraging masks to be worn by volunteers and clients.After May 1, we will have a hybrid of indoor shopping for those who are comfortable and pre-packaged boxes pick-up outdoors.

I echo Tracy's statement about things being awkward for the volunteers. We are doing our best to accommodate everyone.

OFB Portals has a link to the most up to date guidance. It links to an OHA page that updates as the mandate updates https://ofbportals.oregonfoodbank.org/home/partner_support/partner_support/coronavirus

If anyone wants to share, Clackamas Service Center is offering another vaccine and booster clinic tomorrow from 2-6pm at 8800 SE 80th Ave

Sharing two vaccine clinics this Friday and next Friday.

I got to go to another meeting but it was nice meeting you all for a bit. Please reach out with any questions or if you want to learn more from our Equity and Racial Justice work. Email us at equitysupport@oregonfoodbank.org

Thanks for highlighting that Courtney. We look to OHA for the guidance and all our partners are beholden to state mandates. It sounds like everyone is putting a lot of thought into what is best for their volunteers and community.

We have the same issue and I didn't get a clear answer as to why, it was not a timing issue

What are the Non-Food Poly Bags?

due monday

Same. Tortillas didn't arrive

Normal annual produce lull is Jan-April based on growing season, but we are purchasing from Cali and Texas when we can to supplement.

Love it!

same thing the flour and beans come in

Yes, we are interested in handled plastic bags and material tote bags.

Yes, plastic bags (but in different sizes) would be helpful.

Yes to handles plastic bags

we should double check the policy with West vs Metro warehouses

Noon for Metro, 10am for WEst

cant remember the name - but there is a grant that they have been ordering the milk under that isn't TEFAP

that was through the FA program a few years ago

Thanks everyone! I’ve gotta run. Have a great week!

came through the bananna boxes back in the day

I haven’t seen apple sauce available in a long time which is a staple for a school pantry, and our seniors

Same here. Gotta run. Thanks everyone!

I need to leave, Thanks everyone. these sessions are helpful.

Have another meeting. See you all at next session.

Thanks Toni!

Please feel free to message freshalliance@oregonfoodbank.org

Yes, I'll send a follow up email after this call

We’re also looking to for new culturally specific grocery stores to partner with

What would be the process for a new partner to join OFB these days? Starting a new pantry just for residents of an affordable housing apartment complex?

sorry looking for the list

Thank you, Courtney

Bye all, Our pantry opens soon.

Thanks Barb!

Compliance Team is hiring!

I need to jet out; have a good afternoon everyone!

Thanks all!

Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean would be great, please!

If we can start with transcriptions, that will be helpful.

Ideas: 1) The algorithm behind allocation, 2) programs available other than TEFAP, 3) Culturally-specific food purchase strategy

3

5 to infrastructure. I think

4) Best practices by food pantry category (meal sites, monthly distribution, weekly distribution, delivery, etc.)
