Client Meal Delivery Bags

Open Arms Introduces New & Improved Meal Delivery Bags

At Open Arms of Minnesota, we approach every facet of our programming with the utmost dedication. We believe that every element, from the tiniest grain of rice to the smallest kernel of corn, holds significance. That’s why we get excited – maybe too excited – when we can enhance our services to benefit both our clients and volunteers! 

Beginning this February, we are proud to launch the release of new custom bags used to deliver meals directly to our clients. Yes, bags. Beginning immediately, these bags will be used in the distribution of client meals, ensuring a more durable and efficient meal delivery experience. 

The new Open Arms delivery bags boast several key features designed to improve functionality and sustainability: 

  • Enhanced Durability: The bags are constructed with material 50% thicker than previous versions, significantly reducing the likelihood of tears during transportation. 
  • Increased Capacity: Standing approximately two inches taller than their predecessors, the bags minimize the risk of food spillage, ensuring that meals reach clients intact. 
  • Environmentally Friendly Design: Manufactured with curbside recyclable material, the bags promote sustainability while offering reusability benefits. 
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Compared to traditional paper bags, our new delivery bags boast a lower carbon footprint, with minimal freshwater usage in their production process. 
  • Domestic Production: Proudly made in the USA in Los Angeles, the bags support local manufacturing and adhere to stringent quality control measures. 
  • Branded with Open Arms: Featuring the distinctive Open Arms branding, these bags showcase the organization’s commitment to excellence and community support. 
  • Lower Cost: The new delivery bags cost less than previous versions, underscoring Open Arms’ dedication to maximizing resources for the betterment of their mission. 

“We are thrilled to introduce our custom delivery bags, which represent a significant advancement in our commitment to providing nutritious meals efficiently and more sustainably,” commented Open Arms. “These bags not only ensure the integrity of our meal deliveries but also align with our values of environmental stewardship and cost-effectiveness.” 

Open Arms of Minnesota continues to be on the forefront of innovation in delivering medically tailored meals to individuals with critical health issues. The introduction of the new delivery bags marks yet another milestone in their ongoing journey of service and support.
