The Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church is again sponsoring a drive thru mobile food pantry on Saturday morning, July 20 rain or shine.

In partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank/USDA, the church plans to prepare enough food boxes to serve up to 300 families regardless of their income status, on a first come, first served basis.

Families will receive enough food to last them for a full week. Second Harvest will bring in pallets of food on trucks. The food will then be off loaded and organized in preparation for the distribution.

Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and the food will be delivered from 9:00 a.m. until noon.

Unlike most food distributions, those being served by the mobile pantry will not have to get out of their automobiles. They will drive thru in a pickup line and volunteers will deliver the food directly to their vehicles, placing the food boxes either in the back seat or trunk. Cars will line up facing north on College Street across from the Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

“It’s a mobile food pantry but it’s also a drive thru. The recipients will stay in their cars. They will line up starting at 8:00 a.m. on College Street and when we have everything prepared and organized we’ll start the line moving, hopefully around 9:00 a.m. Recipients will drive through. As they enter in we’ll have a team there to put a box of food in their cars, either in their back seat or trunk,” said Isaac Gray, Minister of the Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church

“We will line up right across from the church (Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church) on College Street. We’ll start registration at 8:00 a.m. We’ll need the name of the recipients and how many families are being served. We’re limited to two families per vehicle to make sure we have enough food,” added Gray.

If you have any questions call Myra Reffue at 615-516-6662 or you may also call the church from 8:00 am -12:00 at 615-597-4197.
