Big news at CGFB: we now have a generator! 🎉

Power outages have always been a worry for us — snow and ice in the winter, fire and wind in the summer. Losing the refrigerated and frozen food we have on site would be a huge loss, especially right now, when we're already receiving less food.

The generator install and testing was just finalized, and we're so thankful for the extra security it gives us to keep food safe during disasters and power outages.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible, with special thanks to Hire Electric for partnering on this project! 🙏
