Before engaging the generator we noticed our big walk-in freezer where the majority of our perishable food is stored was at 29°F; we were within hours of spoiled food.

 

Sister Johnice was in her element, once we were up and running Sister was figuring out ways to share the good fortune. I took a trip to the WNY Food Bank with Sister and two representatives from FEMA. They were on a quest to provide generators to other organizations that needed power to assist the public in various parts of Buffalo also affected by the disaster.         

 

Our kitchen extended the hours all week long offering a warm meal for both lunch and dinner, and then in addition providing a bagged lunch to take home.

 

The bagged lunch program continued for hundreds of people and families on both Saturday and

Sunday. Our superior kitchen staff also set up and prepared take-out meals for shut-ins. Meals-on-wheels was without power also and unable to prepare their own meals so we assisted them.

 

We would like to thank National Grid for delivering a couple truck loads of fresh and frozen foods to help feed the hundreds of people in need. Also Tyson Foods for a load of fresh ham to make the sandwiches for the take out bags. Also the WNY Food Bank for stepping up with dry Ice to save our frozen foods from defrosting faster along with additional food, juices and cookies for our take-out lunch bags.
