Storms and power outages can bring enough stress—don’t let food loss add to it. 🌀

Simple storage steps can help you keep food safe, stretch your dollars, and reduce waste when the power goes out.

1️. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed 🧊
2️. Use airtight containers for dry goods 🥪
3️. Store pantry items up off the floor 🥫
4️. Group frozen foods together to hold cold longer 🍨
5️. Make a grab-and-go bag with important documents 📁

If you use SNAP, remember: your benefits roll over month to month. Building a storm-ready pantry can be done a little at a time. Need help affording groceries? Call the More In My Basket team for free, confidential SNAP application assistance:
