Greetings from the Director - David Smolen
It’s quite impressive watching our kitchen team work together and pump out so many meals daily. Food Service Director Dave Blodgett recently celebrated his 25-year anniversary with Gibson! Thank you for your years of dedicated service to the community.
The kitchen team works with Nutrition Director Becky Gargan to craft a nutritionally balanced and excellent tasting menu that contains a wide variety of items on a daily basis. As someone who eats lunch at Gibson most days, I can highly recommend it!
As a participant in the NH Food Bank’s Fresh Rescue Program, we save large amounts of meat and poultry from simply being thrown out. The food obtained through this program contributes to keeping our costs as low as possible. Food not used in our meals is then made available to the general public free of charge. There is almost always a tremendous amount of bread available, amongst other things. Thank you to the North Conway Walmart and Shaw’s for working with us on this mutually beneficial program. Thank you to our volunteer who delivers the Walmart goods to us.
Our kitchen staff start the day at 5AM to get ready for our Meals on Wheels drivers who pick up their coolers at about 9AM. This well-oiled machine produces and packages at least 80 meals a day for distribution throughout the community. Our team then transitions to preparing the daily lunch service, which begins at 11:30 and is another 40-50 meals.
Thank you to Dave, Scott, Linda, Patty, and Barbara for everything you do!
