Kitchen Use Policy

Kitchen Use

We want the FBC Kitchen to continue to be the hub for many ministries.

To keep it organized and efficient for everyone’s use, please complete the following checklist after you use the kitchen.

  • Wash/dry/put away all dishes/utensils (cabinets and drawers are labeled)
  • Label all goods going in fridge/freezer/cabinet with today’s date and planned usage (what it will be used for)

If there is not a specific planned use for the item, do not put it in the fridge, freezer, or cabinet.  Take it home or throw it away.

Check the sign on the refrigerator for more information. Unlabeled items in the fridge will be thrown away.

  • Wash, dry, and return kitchen cloths/towels
  • Take trash out to the dumpster and put new bags in the cans
  • Sweep and Mop as needed (located in the janitor closet by the bathrooms)
  • Check bathrooms and tidy up if you are hosting an event
  • Communicate any supplies that are low in quantity, using the communication form inside the binder you will find in an upper corner cabinet marked BINDER. A crew member will be in weekly to check.
  • Communicate anything that needs repaired or replaced to the Event Crew Leader (Emily Kielb 815-762-3780) – If it is an emergency, contact an Elder or Keith Mauch immediately.
  • ESPECIALLY on FRIDAY & SATURDAY afternoon/evening – Make sure kitchen is clean and ready for church service before Sunday morning
  • Again, please PUT AWAY all dishes before leaving

Refrigerator Use

Use the PERMANENT marker (in the drawer marked OFFICE SUPPLIES to the left of the door) to label all goods going into the fridge/freezer with today’s date and your name or the ministry it’s for. All unmarked food and/or expired items will be discarded. If there is no intended use for the food, please take it home or discard it.

Corner Closet

This closet is currently kept locked, and is for the storage of paper/disposable goods only. No food is stored in the closet. If you have need of items in the closet, please contact Emily Kielb at 815-762-3780 or Keith Mauch.
