Cleaning Schedule

Team 4
Allergy Reminder
For both visitors and regulars, eating during coffee hour is made much easier and enjoyable by labeling common allergens found in your dish. You do not have to avoid cooking with them, just use a post it or index card (both can be found in the table next to the fridge in the food room) to identify your dish and common allergens it contains. A list of suggested labeling points can be found pinned to the fridge (gluten, peanuts, olives and chicken are particularly relevant ones for our community). Labeling food will also make it easier for the team who is serving to help little ones with their plates.
