Have you ever wondered what happens to an apple after it arrives at the Food Bank of the Southern Tier? ๐ŸŽ

It all starts when our Warehouse team receives apples and other fresh produce in large totes. From there, our Production team brings the totes into the Production Room and places them on lift tables, making them easier to access for volunteers of all heights and abilities.

Thatโ€™s where incredible volunteers like Scott and Dache come in. They weigh, bag, and box the apples before sending them down the conveyor line to another amazing volunteer, Isaac.

From there, the apples are carefully packed onto pallets or into large cardboard totes, ready for distribution.

But it doesnโ€™t stop there!

Our Production team moves the finished totes into our coolers until theyโ€™re ready to go. Then Warehouse team members like Chris prepare them for delivery so they can make their way to food pantries, meal programs, and partner agencies across all six counties of the Southern Tier.

From receiving and sorting to packing and delivery, every person plays an important role in helping fresh food reach our neighbors.

Together, we're building and sustaining hunger-free communities. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿค Community partnerships help make our work possible.

We're grateful for the collaboration between Planet Fitness and Rotary International members who help support the Maine and Rumble Ponies Mobile Food Pantry distributions.

Planet Fitness provides most of the boxes used for these MFPs. These boxes play an important role in helping volunteers efficiently distribute nutritious food to neighbors across the Southern Tier.

Combined with the dedication of Rotary members who volunteer their time and talents, this partnership demonstrates how local organizations can come together to strengthen food access and support our communities.

Thank you to Planet Fitness, Rotary members, and all of the volunteers who help make this work possible.

Our volunteers spent the week repacking corn, apples, and bread, helping ensure nutritious food reaches neighbors across the Southern Tier. ๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿž

A huge thank you to our friends from Nucor Vulcraft, who brought members of their internship program out to volunteer, along with the BOCES Nursing Students and Kennedy Valve. We are always grateful for the time, energy, and passion our volunteers bring to the fight against hunger, and we love seeing organizations across our community join us in this effort.

As we head into a new season, we're feeling just as strong, motivated, and ready to serve our neighbors as ever. Here's to another great week of building stronger, hunger-free communities together! ๐Ÿ’š
