Prepared food/meals

Delivering Meals: To ensure that WARM has time to heat the meals to the state regulated temperature before serving, please follow these guidelines:

For delivery the same day as the meal is being served:

Uncooked: Please provide cooking instructions deliver by 2 PM
Cooked but cold and needs to be heated: deliver by 4 PM
Cooked and hot: deliver by 5 PM

ALL MEALS MUST BE DELIVERED BY 5 PM ON YOUR SCHEDULED DAY

Please note that if a meal is not delivered by 5pm, WARM will have to begin preparing a meal with whatever is available – this causes a great amount of stress for everyone – especially when there are up to 50 people waiting for a 5:30 PM meal. Also meals arriving late which are not prepared and hot need more than one-half hour to bring them up to State Regulations.

MEALS BROUGHT IN BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DAY/DATE OR BEFORE 2 PM THAT DAY:

Mark all containers with your GROUP's NAME and DATE TO BE SERVED and COOKING INSTRUCTIONS. For instance:. “St. Michaels Church DINNER FOR FRIDAY MARCH 30th”

Please stop in the FRONT OFFICE and let a Staff Member know the delivery has been made so it does not get confused with a random donation.

If you are unsure of your group’s meal date, contact Joy Cordio ( Volunteer Coordinator) or you may check your schedule on-line at www.warmshelter.org

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO TAKE THE TIME, EFFORT, ENERGY AND FUNDS TO BRING IN MEALS FOR WARM'S COMMUNITY SOUP KITCHEN!
