Snackbridge is donations specifically for bulk snack foods. Such foods include, but are not limited to:
- ramen noodles (5 individual packs for ~ $1),
- bags of chips,
- bags of cookies,
- big grocery-store brand frozen pizzas, and
- bags of breakfast cereal.
Donating to Snackbridge allows us to stock up on snack foods.
Benefits
- Keeping snack foods in-house means you don't need to leave the space and break your concentration whenever you need a quick snack.
- Buying in bulk allows economies of scale - we get more food for less money.
- Sharing food is another way to be excellent to each other.
We like the donations that jingle, but we prefer the kind that folds.
Update January 5, 2011
Snackbridge is working quite well!
If there are particular snacks you'd like Noisebridge to keep around, leave a note in the
Snackbridge donation jar or mention something to Patrick.
Several people have already suggested more fresh fruit and health food, so we're going
to try and find some good deals on those and stock up.
