ARIZONA KOSHER PANTRY / EZRAS CHOLIM OF PHOENIX
PANDEMIC OF 2020
ACTION PLAN – RESPONSE
In response to the Pandemic of 2020 the Arizona Kosher Pantry (AKP) / Ezras Cholim of Phoenix (EC) have developed a plan that is “fluid” and adaptable as the crisis evolves. All Services of AKP https://www.staging7.azkosherpantry.org/ /EC https://www.staging7.azkosherpantry.org/ will be offered as available. The food Pantry has an ongoing effort to maintain our supply chain and supplemental support. The AKP has recently acquired a “walk in freezer” and is preparing cooked frozen Kosher meals for distribution to anyone in need; Kosher observers and otherwise. We feel this helps optimize the resource we currently receive. Any suggestions or needs are welcome.
