I'm serving P.B.R and bacon with no stinking permit. The P.B.R will prolly be warm and the bacon will prolly be cold.

"Non-profit" may refer only to 501-3(c) organizations. Probably not worth the hassle to save $25.

Quite clearly anyone who is giving away food a BRC is not making a profit. A "non-profit" charges a fee, but declares it goes to charity (or sumtin')

I would argue that BRC food kitchens should pay even less of a fee then Regular or non-profit kitchens since no money is changing hands which means there is no earnings to pay for the permit.

It would also seem that WE are being overly taxed if 100 people file for permits the health dept realizes $5,000.00.

I think we should try and work something out rather than accepting the high fee. Perhaps if the fee was less more people would pay for the permit and learn proper food handleing procedures.

a good gift would be any prepachaged non-perishable item if the person is hungry...I always ask visitors if they are hungery or thirsty.
................
Food
Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking and little or no water. If you must heat food, pack a can of sterno. Select food items that are compact and lightweight. Avoid foods that will make you thirsty. Choose salt-free crackers, whole grain cereals, and canned foods with high liquid content.

*Include a selection of the following foods in your Disaster Supplies Kit:

Note: Be sure to include a manual can opener.

•Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables
•Canned juices, milk, soup (if powdered, store extra water)
•Staples--sugar, salt, pepper

•High energy foods--peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail mix
•Vitamins
•Foods for infants, elderly persons or persons with special dietary needs
•Comfort/stress foods--cookies, hard candy, sweetened cereals, lollipops, instant coffee, tea bags
