Project Details

Bicycle Rides Northwest (BRNW) will establish a large-scale reusable mealware inventory that BRNW will own, manage and store, including 400+ plates, bowls, cups and utensils. BRNW can loan a portable commercial-grade dishwasher to established organizations and events on a case-by-case basis, and be used at the recipient’s facility to clean returned mealware from other borrowers.
