I co-managed a relief center which was tremendously challenging as the refugees, the church, city and nation were under extreme stress. We not only cared for 750 refugees of various nationalities, but were also the city-wide distribution center. My co-manager and I structured a system where stock control, meal planning, cooking, portion control during serving and distribution of dry and wet food were successfully executed as the city leaders confirmed we were the most successful center.
