Along with the hot meals we serve during the week, the Mission operates a Food Pantry. Food baskets are distributed on the last two Thursdays of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.. Prior to the distribution days, the food needs to be sorted and packaged. Your church or small group ministry could help with the advanced preparation and then with the distribution on the giveaway days. 

There are also special distribution dates and food delivery dates where there is always a need for lots of extra help unloading trucks and distributing the food items to the larger turnout that happens on those special dates.(If you are interested in finding out about these dates, please send us an email though our Contact Us page.) 

This all brings to mind the story of the paralytic who was lowered through the roof by his friends so that Jesus could heal him (Mark 2:4). Some times it really does take many hands working together to bring an individual the compassionate presence of Christ.
