Methodist Hospital MRE

Got a phone call from Methodist Hospital, they had five to six pallets of Meals Ready to Eat (MRE) to donate to the Food Bank. After I picked my jaw off the floor, I wrote down their contact information so our Operations Manager could arrange to pick up their donation.

When the truck got back from Methodist Hospital, we looked in the back of the truck and it was full of cases of MREs. (I forgot the camera.) But that truckload was only half of their donation. The other half would be picked up the next day.


Eversafe Emergency Meal Kit


There is a Therma pouch for heating the food. We discovered three different type of entrees: beef stew, chicken noodle casserole, and spaghetti with meat and sauce. Mango peach apple sauce filled in the fruit food group and there were sweets for dessert: toffee cookies and an energy bar. Peanuts were included for a snack. The kit included coffee, cream and sugar; salt and pepper, utensils, a napkin and teeth wipes.

This complete Kit is perfect for distribution to our homeless clients. Many do not have access to a place to cook their food. What a treat for them to have a warm meal. Thank you, Methodist Hospital!
