Our Food Process Out At Santo Tomas



Every Wednesday we receive a weeks worth of food - enough for enough for about 25 people, 3 meals a day. Food here perishes extremely fast. We have a dry storage, a cold storage (chilled by a single air conditioner), and a fridge. In the US, everything is pumped full of preservatives, down here, you need to eat it fast or else give it to the animals. When the food comes in, most of the items are soaked in diluted bleach for 15 minutes, and then sun dried. While all this is going on, we go through and wipe down the storage units and the fridge with bleach. This is a long and tedious process, but one that proves VERY beneficial to us and our health.
