A New Forklift Tops Wish List

Additional equipment is needed in order to keep food flowing into our warehouse and out to those in need across the two counties, includes:

-A heavy duty crew cab pickup truck (from $16,000 used to $36,000 new) capable of hauling work crews and pulling our trailer with 7,000 pounds of equipment including our tractor. It's important. No fewer than 30 gardens located across the two counties depend on this quipment and on volunteer work crews.

-Two electric pallet jacks ($4,065 each).

-Refrigerated Truck ($70,000) with a lift gate, to take new, daily "Fresh Alliance" routes to grocery stores, picking up donations of dairy, deli and meat items.

-Commercial Duty Floor Scrubber ($13,500) to clean and maintain sanitary conditions in our two warehouse buildings with 26,000 square feet of storage space.
