By now we should have moved
into our new warehouse on Blossom
Drive in Salem. From what we have
seen, it’s a beautiful facility.
To our Salem clients, this will be
our first distribution from the new site
so we will make the transition as
smooth as possible for everyone and
hope you will be as understanding and
patient as you always have been.
Don’t forget to bring your favorite
commodity food dish during the dis
tribution on June 20 for our grand
opening potluck. We would like to try
to give tours of the new warehouse and
then give you your food while you are
visiting and eating. It will be fun! See
you all then.
Happy meals!
