It's Nice and Cool in Our New Walk-in Refrigerator
Brrr…it’s cold inside thanks to a recent $30,000 grant we received from Alameda County Source & Recycling Board through Stopwaste.org to purchase a large walk-in refrigerator. With additional funding for installation the walk-in is now chilling produce and foods in our warehouse. Thank you to Pelco Sales and Services and Cold Storage Manufacturing for the installation and Moonlight Electric for connecting the electricity.
This large refrigeration unit increases our cold storage capacity and enables us to expand our Food Recovery Program. To learn more and see photos of the installation process, please go to the blog post – New Walk-in Refrigerator.
Defeating hunger in Alameda County takes a community of organizations and people funding and volunteering. Please consider donating to the San Lorenzo Family Help Center, in a small or big way, click the Donate button at the top of the website.
