Each time you change food items, you must change your gloves. There was a full box of them by the end of our duties, and we were able to take them home for other uses. They were hardly dirty, they just had a little residue on them from scooping wheat or sugar or potato flakes.
After we packed the food we had ordered, we had to wash the tubs and scoopers, and sweep the floor.
You can buy the food in bulk instead of canning it, if you want. Since it will not store well in these paper bags, you will need to do something with it when you get it home. You can bring it home and put it into buckets you have purchased elsewhere, or you can buy the empty cans and lids and oxygen packets from the cannery, and use our stake’s dry canning machine in your own garage. (I have to find out more about our stake’s canning machine.)
If you have a big order, or if you are picking up food for several people, it is good to bring a man along. This man was doing all the loading for his ward.
I am arranging some cannery trips for our ward. If you want to send a check and an order, the people going there can pick it up for you. Or you can come with us and help us can it. The tentative dates are Thursday Nov. 18, 9 am, Saturday Nov. 20 at 9 am. Or Tues. Nov. 23 at 9 am. Please call or email me (Amy) if you want to go or if you want to send an order. This offer is for Morrisville or Green Level ward only. You must get my email or phone off the ward list.
If you want to make an appointment for yourself at some other time, call the cannery at 336-287-1767.
