This video is used to encourage and train food pantries across New York to adopt the Client Choice method of distribution. Client Choice allows clients to choose the foods they receive as opposed to the pre-packaged method which doesn't take into account their preferences or dietary restrictions. Nearly 90% of all the food pantries in the Food Bank of the Southern Tier's six county service area practice some from of Client Choice.
Awesome video! Thanks for the encouragement. We are starting a community food pantry in our church & have the same space you do. I feel much better after watching how you guys do it. Blessings :)M

I totally agree with your concept. Our church in Texas started with a "Pack the box" pantry. We switched to a full client choice pantry and will NEVER go back. And, you do not need a lot of room to do this. Our space is limited, but we use shelves to expand that space. Both clients and volunteers love this concept. BTW, great video. Our pantry youtube video is - John 3:16 Food Pantry if you care to look. Not the quality of yours though.
