For every organization, big or small, strategic planning is critical; and the initiatives that come from that work vary in complexity and effort. New commercial pantry shelving may not seem like the stuff of strategy-making, but when that new shelving improves safety and maximizes storage and display capacity for our core program, that puts the project in a whole new perspective!
Our shelving project was months in the making, and it was unveiled mid-February after a four-day shut-down of the pantry. Our Building and Grounds committee and pantry staff lead the project with the help of some hard-working volunteers.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from our client families and volunteers, who love the clean, professional look of the shelving and the more “open” feel of the pantry space. We love the sturdy, easier-to-reach units, and the bolted-to-the-wall features that eliminate the risk of tipping.
Improvement projects like this one are made possible by our generous community; and those who love investing in the brick and mortar of our buildings. We are filled with gratitude for all who play a role in both our day-to-day work, and especially the strategic initiatives that make us better!
