Our church has an employee whose job is event support. She has some great ideas regarding refreshments. For example:
Keep a stock of individually wrapped snacks such as string cheese, pretzels, cookies, peanuts, trail mix, small bottled waters and soft drinks on hand. These can be purchased at warehouses like Costco or Sam’s. Advantages? You aren’t caught unprepared, the items have a good shelf life, there will be less waste and clean up time due to open food trays, there is decreased risk of spreading germs (because of individual packaging,) you can offer a larger variety that will appeal to those with a sweet tooth and those who prefer healthy choices, and you may save some money.
Bonus: you won’t have to deal with leftovers (often sweets) that pile up in the fridge and can be an unhealthy temptation to staff who may be trying to watch their diets. Put the items in some attractive baskets and voila, you have a refreshing display with very little trouble!
