Beans, rice, sugar. Oh no, I forgot the toilet paper!

One of my jobs here is ensuring that the residents have all the supplies needed. 

I have begun buying in bulk to save money, time, etcetera. 

For the month, I order 480 eggs,  40 kilos (88 lbs) of dried beans, 100 rolls of toilet paper, 100 kilos of rice, 21 kilos of sugar (46 lbs).  I make a smaller weekly order that includes fresh fruit, veggies and bread. 

 Well, you get the idea. 

This is to feed 21 kids and 4 adults. 

So, I place the order with Leonard, one of our employees and he goes to the market and buys it. 

He delivers it. (usually outside my door because I am out doing something else). 

I log the delivery and check the list

Then I organize it in the store room. 

I am getting better but there are still some kinks. For example, I forgot to order tomatoes for the week.  And I am out of bread now.

 But, overall, this helps things run much smoother in the resident department. No more last minute "Oh, no!  We don't have eggs for tomorrow's breakfast!"
