Items Needed
Warehouse management is one of the most challenging tasks in our operation. Between handling an influx of items after a food-drive, keeping a minimum stock and responding to emergency situations, we sometimes fall short on some high-in-demand items. Every Wednesday, we post the top most-needed items on our Facebook page #whatsneededwednesday.
