We operate a drive-thru food distribution every Tuesday (7:45am-2:30pm) and Thursday (7:45am - 2:30pm). We serve approximately 2000 families each week.
We also distribute approximately 100-125 bagged lunches daily to our homeless population.

- Shifts can be: 7:45-11a, 11a-2:30p, or 7:45a-2:30p
The work is conducted completely out of doors and is a bit physical, requiring standing, bending, lifting of up to 25-30 lbs, and loading into vehicles.
