First Christian Church of BG to host free community drive-thru meal

From FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF BOWLING GREEN

On Friday, March 13, from 5 – 6 p.m., First Christian Church of Bowling Green (FCC), 875 Haskins Road, will host its monthly drive-thru community meal and food distribution. Those who are experiencing food insecurity are encouraged to participate in this free meal. Participants are also encouraged to pick up a limited number of groceries, toiletries, breads, and pastries at no charge.

To participate, arrive between 5 and 6 p.m. at the FCC parking lot and remain in the car. Volunteers will take orders, hand deliver meals, and direct people to the groceries and toiletries. There will be no early entry for the shopping portion of this event.

St. Thomas More University Parish of Bowling Green and the BG Christian Food Pantry will provide groceries for the food bag distribution. The toiletries pantry will be available this month with support from First Presbyterian Church and First Christian Church, both of Bowling Green. Participants are also offered a variety of breads and pastries provided by the BG Christian Food Pantry. Volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of Bowling Green will provide event help including the distribution of the meals, food bags, and bread and pastries. Funding for additional food items is provided by the City of Bowling Green – Emergency Food Assistance Grant.

Since November 2020, the community meal has been a part of FCC’s food ministry to reduce food insecurity in the community.
