F I S H (Food information Support Hope)

 

In these tough economic times F I S H & Lee Community Church want to help those in need in the local community of Gosport/Lee with boxes of FREE food on a regular basis

 

F I S H (Food information Support Hope) has been feeding local families for 3 years. They are a team of 6 headed up by Elizabeth Young. Four days a week food is picked up from 2 local supermarkets, packed into boxes and delivered to families living in the Lee and Gosport areas. Currently there are approx 210 addresses on the list, ranging from single people to families, the elderly and people with special needs. F I S H always needs more donations of food, particularly tins, jars and packets, and as the need increases, more volunteers to help collect the food and deliver. Please email Elizabeth at elizabethyoung@leecommunitychurch.org if you know a family in need or are able to help serve in this ministry.

 

A&A Packaging happily donates polythene bags to F I S H to help keep this great charity moving forward.

Freeze Pads for temperature control packaging

freeze padsFreeze Pads

Freeze Pads are the most flexible refrigerant packaging product (often known as gel pads) used within the food industry and has been at the forefront of refrigerated packaging solutions since 1991. Today it is used by many artisan food producers and the fish industry for which it was originally invented.

New retail packs now available for home use:

Freeze pads have many benefits over the more traditional freezer pad:
• By placing sheets under, around or on top of your products, the freezer pads evenly control the temperature of all the food in the box.
• Freeze pads don’t melt so there is no risk of soggy packaging or damage to other items.
• It can be wrapped around food helping to protect it whilst on the move.
• Even when defrosted, Freeze pads maintain an inherent coldness within the gel making it ideal for use at picnics, BBQs and outdoor catering events.

Increasingly, Freeze pads refrigerant packaging is used by caterers when transporting food to indoor and outdoor events.

For extra temperature control, simply wrap the food and Freeze pad in bubble wrap.

Not only can Freeze pads be used to keep the food cool during transit, but even when the cells defrost, the inherent coldness remains within the gel. By placing a buffet platter on top of a sheet of Freeze pads, the food will remain fresher for longer.

Trade benefits include:
• It is easily stored. A box of Freeze pads is the equivalent of a pallet of water filled packaging.
• You control costs by using exactly what you need in sheet form or from the perforated roll.
