Free community meals to be served Friday at First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Bowling Green, 875 Haskins Road, will be serving its monthly drive-thru community meal on Friday, Aug. 12, from 5 to 6 p.m. As part of FCC’s food mission, this community meal is free of charge and is offered to anyone who needs a meal. 

Last month, 134 meals were served – a record so far.

This month’s menu includes ham, cheesy potatoes, a vegetable, roll and butter, and cookie.

In addition to the meal, food bags will be distributed, provided by St. Thomas More University Parish and the BG Christian Food Pantry.  Participants are also offered a variety of breads and pastries provided by the Bowling Green Christian Food Pantry.

The toiletries pantry will be available due to the generosity of First Presbyterian Church.

Volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provide event help including the distribution of the food bags and bread/pastries.

All are welcome and there is no charge for the meal, food bags, toiletries, or the breads and pastries.

The minimal contact dinner is easy to participate in. Participants need to arrive between 5 and 6 p.m. at the church’s parking lot and remain in their cars. Volunteers will take their orders, hand deliver the meals, and direct them to the bread and pastries. COVID precautions are requested to be followed, especially for those who have not received the vaccination.
