Use Existing Kitchens And A New Distribution System
A New System, A New Way

Package and prepare cooked food from existing kitchen operations, including Glide and Project Open Hand, etc and also from hotels, restaurants, so that they can be distributed to local Central Market residents. Expand the operational hours of the kitchen. Some kitchens already use volunteer labor, which can be expanded to include resident food recipients, who could be part of the delivery mechanisms. Consider innovative packaging technology; and chose food options (including meals) that are appropriate for health goals, which make storage easy, and make for ease of cooking. Computerize the distribution system so that residents can request and kitchens can deliver specified items on a forward-scheduled basis. You could also keep track of calories consumed.
