Children Are a BIG Part of What We Do
One of our partner organizations asked us if we were interested in a foam playhouse for kids. It was still in the box and had never been put together. Our answer to these questions is always yes.
The Clown Car: Taking on the Food Pickup Challenge
Did you ever wonder how all that food gets to the market? Well, it is a combination of art and organization. It’s a bit like playing Tetris in some cases and in others, well it’s more like the art of creating a clown car of food.
LOTS of Cereal….Again
Grocery Outlet has been doing inventory rotations again. We talked to the management and we arranged to get ALL of it.
HOT Sauce & More
This week we have some new additions to our market. First, we have multiple cases of hot sauce. The hot sauce bottles are small, but they all have a bit of a kick.
Play Pen & Play Set
It’s going to be another good week for our markets. We have a special offer to a family or families that could use these. As always, everything here is free.
Lucky Charms
Grocery Outlet in El Cajon gave us more Lucky Charms than we ever thought we would get. You all stepped up and helped us find a home for almost 200 pounds of Lucky Charms.
Our Market: Dignified & More
As most of you know from shopping our market, we have grown significantly in the past six months. We have more veterans and even more families coming to our markets. With this growth, we continue to work to make Serving Good markets a place that everyone wants to visit.
An Extra Large Pantry Section
This week we have a lot of shelf-stable products for our Pantry section. As always, we also have our complete range of food available. Remember to use our bag concierge service if your bag gets too heavy. We will store your bag while you finish shopping.
What is THAT?
“What is THAT?”…That is the question we heard the most at this week’s market when people pointed at this tag attached to some produce. The answer is obvious by the tag that reads “Kohlrabi”. But what is it?
