Changes in Food Distribution Program

KEY Project implemented some long awaited changes, and announced more changes for the future at our bimonthly Ohana Produce program.

The changes accompanied the merging of the both the HCAP and KEY food distributions into one streamlined program. The changes affected two groups involved: clients and volunteers. 

Clients: will now register once at the HCAP office, on a day other than that of the distribution, for both of the distributions. At 2pm registered clients will begin to draw numbers to decide line order, they will be given green numbers. Also unregistered clients will begin to sign in to pick up food on a first come first serve basis and will be given white numbers. Once all the green numbers are called, the white numbers will be called. 

Volunteers: will register and complete the volunteer training provided by KEY Project and HCAP staff. They will provide service from 1pm to 430pm. Volunteers will not go through the food line, however they will be allowed to have a designated person go through for them. They are also asked to check in the day before and we thank them for treating everybody with love and respect. 

That being said, the foodbank was awesome, and all went well, and the all had their heart warmed by the loving fire of service, even amidst these somewhat damp
times.
