Industrial Athletes Make Our Operations Hum

Published on February 14, 2024
GBFB’s Warehouse Operations team works as a well-oiled machine to get food into the community to feed Eastern Massachusetts.

Dedicated and dynamic, our warehouse operations power our efforts to alleviate hunger by distributing food to the 190 communities we serve. Clocking in before dawn, these logistical experts orchestrate the precise movement of 15,000 cases of food out the door daily, translating into 100 million pounds of food distributed annually.

Our warehouse facility operations, transportation, and inventory operations encompass four teams that take immense pride in their work, functioning like a well-oiled machine to get food into the community. These industrial athletes form the backbone of our operations to power our network of 600 distribution sites throughout Eastern Massachusetts.

Between organizing orders, selecting products, moving pallets, shipping inventory, and delivering orders, our team moves quickly and efficiently to meet the escalating demand for nutritious meals. They utilize data-driven practices to carefully select and package food orders while leveraging technology to keep our operations flexible, accurate, and efficient while reducing waste.

“This team is amazing; they energize me to do my best every day. They not only support the mission—they live it, breathe it, and own it,” said Cheryl Schondek, Chief Operating Officer. “They are a big part of why we are so successful at what we do—distributing healthy meals.”
