When does this change take place?

Is "Allocations" the same as the USDA allocation?

Judy, Yes, "Allocations" is the same as USDA Allocations.

Kathy, We will talk about the timing of this change towards the end.

Sorry to keep popping in and out, had trouble with my internet connection.

I have hoped that Other Agency Info would be a holding place for nearby agencies we can partner with.

How is the display of product sorted? For example, alphabetically, by product number, can we sort it ourselves?

limit case or individual

Limit = case, just like the current version

Welcome to new folks - we are recording this session, so anything you may have missed, you can go back and watch later.

Sorry internet was not working well.

Are we still able to keep the items we've previously added to the cart as we update it throughout the week or do we need to do anything differently to keep the existing items in the cart?

Currently, pack size is in some cases unclear. Will the update help, hurt, or neither?

How can we access this video, and others, moving forward?

Noah we'll post the video to the Partner Support Site later today or tomorrow morning

which is here - https://ofbportals.oregonfoodbank.org/home/partner_support

Any differences for PC or Macs?

Answering this question: How is the display of product sorted? For example, alphabetically, by product number, can we sort it ourselves?

Q: limit case or individual?

Q: Are we still able to keep the items we've previously added to the cart as we update it throughout the week or do we need to do anything differently to keep the existing items in the cart?

Are you going to have more complete product info than before?

Will the description of the product be more descriptive ? I often find the description now very ambiguous

Will you keep delivering indefinitely?

SVDP Forest Grove - we hope so!

Is there a place where we can request products? For example, I haven’t seen apple sauce in a while.

I just wanted to double check that we still need to wait to add perishables to the cart until a day or two before delivery?

If I submit my order and it is accepted, can I still add some items say the next day?

Is the link to the Partner Support page accessible through the OFB main page?

https://ofbportals.oregonfoodbank.org/home/partner_support

How about greater availability to fresh fruits and vegetables in smaller quantities than totes or pallets?

Will be there a desktop vs mobile version?

@Noah - if you are on oregonfoodbank.org - scroll to the very bottom of the page and you'll see OFB Portals - that's the Partner Support Site

Thanks

Regarding “pick up” of items, I didn’t see the box to click where you add the time?

Is it okay to put in cart Friday if we plan to pick up on Monday?

ie- Is OFB checking order over the weekend?

Is the amount of an item shown is for ALL agencies or just ours?

Q: Regarding “pick up” of items, I didn’t see the box to click where you add the time?

Monday orders have orders in by Friday

Thank you Laura

Think I will really like the new site. Much more user friendly it seems!

Yay! Good work

good - we like the changes

Looks good

Good, well presented! Thanks Laura!

I believe the small/medium packs can go up to 5 pounds. I find that it is difficult to move a 5 pound bag of something to an individual, especially since we can not divide a pack into smaller portions as that is considered "processing". Anyway we can get more specific weights? Thanks!

I think it’s great. Thank you

very helpful

It looks like an easy transition to me. Thanks!

This was great, thank you!

Can we make a payment on the site?

Is there a timeline for hearing about grants for this year?

looks to be much more user friendly

I appreciate that the new format seems much more modern and user-friendly without being unrecognizable to the current system. I also appreciate the ode to online shopping which most folx are already familiar with using.

Yes! The goal is to use "modern" and "Current" internet ordering technology for this.

When are you considering more tfap applications?

What’s OFB fiscal year? Thx

Can we get more protein (eggs, meat) items for free or for to purchase?

Also is it possible flag items kosher halal etc?

how about more milk?

Double thumbs up!

Thank you Laura, Courtney and team for having fresh tofu!!!

I haven't seen fruit in boxes for some time. Can we get this?

We can't get a tote into our Pantry

Butter, was so plentiful, Will you be getting more for us.?

wow

If the produce boxes go away, is it possible to get smaller quantities of produce? The totes are just too much for us.

What is the process to be authorized to pick up at Amazon Fresh Warehouse?

I like the idea of an agency bulletin board or site where we can share/ask questions etc.

What about bags? Will there be paper or reusable bags available to all agencies? We spend about $80 per week on bags at US Chefstore.

Kathy... Yes! We are working to get Produce available to smaller agencies in smaller quantities so there is variety for ya'll.

Yay!

is there a way to get involved in that culturally specific purchasing conversation?

I have the same concern as Brad

Paper bags with handles would be great, if possible. Thank you

Any ideas on how to share bread? Everyone seems to want to give us bread and we are often overrun.

The random boxes of hygiene and cleaning products are great! Will that be a regular thing going forward?

My FFM today was outdoors today in the rain. We ran out of bags and given it is currently a drive-through non-contact, we do not ask participants to bring their own. We had boxes, but they got soaked through and it was very difficult to distribute the food safely.

Thank you for alerting us to the Amazon closing and offering their equipment. It was gold to us!

Nara Outpatient wants some, and if it's not sourced from OFB, it's ok to share with them.

No, i don’t need bread.

I can help with ideas for bread. Noah Adler 608-347-9205

Hey Ashley can you remind me if your site has any canopies/needs any more?

Can OFB do agency direct referrals when hygiene offers come available?

We use reusable green bags. Hippo is the name an brand.

We have 3 canopies, but the rain comes from every direction, and we walk the items to the vehicles. It would be nice to have those canopies with the walls!

Hey Toni - is that the Hippo Sak brand?

I requested sanitizer in small containers......but received 4 gallon containers. Now we need smaller containers .

Will all available produce be posted on the new Primarius or will we have to continue to email Christina every time we want to know what else is available?

Ashley - let me follow up w/ you to see if we have any canopy walls in stock!

Not sure if this was already shared, here is the info on entering your monthly reports - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sN7WAZaf53THXpROSwMz6TCChI6G0na22_VCA4BTVu8/edit

Yes. They have started making a bag that is lighter. Not a 4 mil bag. That is just as sturdy.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention

I stopped adding them into the comments because they didn't seem to be seen by who is reviewing it.

Woo! Oranges or mandarins will be AMAZING for upcoming Lunar New Year!

https://www.foodhero.org/ingredients Rutabega recipes anyone?! Or any other recipes and cooking tips - they're all here!

Lisa you can make a vegan ham with them!

https://www.cropdrop.co.uk/recipes/swede-christmas-ham-vegan

they are ridiculously good

Is there any way to get less than 200-400lbs of produce?

G4G has had success in collecting grocery bags from the neighborhood. Use next-door.com

Find another pantry to share with Steve

Do you still have the partnership with OSU for the food demos?

I assume we will get notified when the current primarius system is going to go down

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! We are closed tomorrow.

I miss shopping the dock!

Thanks for the heads up Kathy!

That's a great idea Jack
