SC - TI Article - Support Kitchen

[deborah minyard]

>From providing some refreshment on the road out of the woods, I've seen that 
the prime requirements are
carry in one hand that may also be holding something
fit thru barwork
They've loved cucumber slices with a little vinegar and orange slices
crackers pretzles salty bread bits went over well
the sausage and cheese went but didn't cause as much excitement.
Familiar is good it makes decisions easier
