Please don't leave left-over food unless you plan to use it for an upcoming event or have communicated with someone who would like to use it. Otherwise left-overs unfortunately often rot. If food will be used for an upcoming event, please label all food with the name of the event it will be used for and communicate with that event leader.

Items in the first row of shelving in the pantry are considered General Kitchen items. These are shared by all and are available to any ministry.
There are shelves in the pantry, cooler and freezer which are labelled for specific ministries. Please do not use any items from those shelves without permission from the ministry.
Coffee bags are located in the drawer under the large coffee maker and are pre-portioned for the large coffee maker. One bag makes about 60 cups of coffee. The smaller coffee machine makes about 12 cups of coffee. If you'd like coffee for your ministry, please let the office know via your Office Communication Form.
