Process

• Once everything is in place, and the refreshments and prayer are done, there are two teams: 1) an outside team unloading the truck and 2) an inside team called “counters”.
• Food items are unloaded in bulk, item by item.
• Pilgrim’s has a “counter/caller” on the truck who calls the church name and and their portion of the bulk item
• We have a corresponding counter who verifies the called out count and what we are receiving
• Once the semi is unloaded and we have everything, our counter compares their count with the drop’s sites counters and everything is signed off.
• If any food is spoiled, Pilgrim’s makes it up out of their own pantry (as part of their ministry, not out of obligation).
• Pilgrim has a team of 15 people to handle being a drop site for all the churches and distribution site for an average of 150 orders.

Notes

• Bedford Nazarene has a team that picks up the food and another team that sets up the church and distributes.
