๐๐ฅ Grocery Grab Update ๐ฅ๐
As we kick off another Grocery Grab season, we want to provide a quick update and set expectations moving forward.
First, thank you to our incredible staff, volunteers, and community partners who make this program possible. This week alone, our team prepared and distributed groceries for local families here in Nevada while also putting together 120 grocery bags for Butler. There is a tremendous amount of work happening behind the scenes, and we are grateful for everyone who helps make it happen.
๐งก We ask for grace during these first few weeks. Grocery Grab is a large operation, and the beginning of the season is always a period of adjustment as we learn attendance numbers, improve traffic flow, and make changes that help us better serve families.
๐ซ Beginning next week, vehicles may not line up before 4:00 PM.
While distribution begins at 4:30 PM, we allowed vehicles to begin lining up around 2:00 PM this week. We quickly learned that this creates traffic and safety concerns for our facility, neighboring businesses, and volunteers.
๐ The line will begin at the cones on the north side of the Early Learning Center building. Please follow all traffic signs and instructions from staff and volunteers.
๐ฅ Please understand that we may run out of groceries, especially during the first few weeks.
We start the season with a set number of grocery bags based on projected participation. As we see attendance grow, we work to increase the number of bags available each week. Our goal is always to serve as many families as possible, but demand may exceed supply as we establish participation numbers.
โค๏ธ We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to provide this FREE program to surrounding area families. Every week, we learn, adjust, and grow so we can continue serving more children and families throughout the summer.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we work together to make Grocery Grab successful for our community. ๐๐
Please help us by sharing this information so everyone knows what to expect before next weekโs distribution.
