Collaborating and sharing ideas and experiences with the Center for Food Action

representative of The Food Brigade and the Center for Food Action


On Wednesday, March 8, The Food Brigade was paid a visit by our comrades-in-arms from the Center for Food Action, at our Dumont distribution center and food pantry. We traded ideas and information about food distribution procedures, inventory control, client case management, implementation of technological tools, volunteer staffing, and more.
