The Idea: A group of “6” people each make one recipe times “6”. Then the group gets together and each member takes one from every other member.
Instructions & Rules: 1. Read and agree to follow all USDA guidelines as outlined at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/index.asp
2. Always prepare food safely in a clean kitchen with clean hands.
3. Each meal is required to have 6 servings.
4. Package each meal in a freezer-friendly container. Use Zippered freezer bags or vacuum-sealed freezer bags when possible. Most meals should be double-bagged. (Note that some ingredients can be placed in storage bags as long as the storage bags are contained within a larger freezer bag.) When a pan is needed use a disposable aluminum pan covered with foil and enclosed in a 2-gallon zippered freezer bag.
5. Clearly label food with • Recipe Name • Date Prepared • Cooking Instructions One way this can be achieved is to print out slips of paper to include in the meal package.
6. Cool food before freezing. Do not place hot meals into the freezer.
7. Meals will be exchanged the 3rd Thursday of each month at Gospel Baptist Church. Bring all meals in a cooler with icepacks. Meals may be frozen or fresh (ready for the freezer). If a co-op member cannot be present at the swap, they must arrange for someone else to bring their food and make the swap on their behalf (unless other arrangements have been made to deliver meals to all swap members).
8. A 30-day notice is required for leaving the co-op.
