Free community drive-thru meal set for Friday at First Christian Church in BG

The monthly drive-thru Community Meal and Food Distribution hosted by First Christian Church of Bowling Green, at 875 Haskins Road, is Friday, Oct. 13, from 5. to 6 p.m. Those who are experiencing food insecurity are encouraged to participate in this free meal. 

The menu will be pulled pork sandwich, a vegetable, fruit cup, and cookies. Participants are also encouraged to pick up groceries and shop for select toiletries, breads and pastries.

To participate in this monthly event, arrive between 5 and 6 p.m. at the First Christian Church parking lot and remain in your car. Volunteers will take your order, hand deliver the meals, and direct you to the groceries and toiletries. COVID and flu precautions are requested to be followed.

St. Thomas More University Parish of Bowling Green and the BG Christian Food Pantry continue to provide groceries for the food bag distribution. The toiletries pantry will be available this month thanks to First Presbyterian Church, Bowling Green. Participants are also offered a variety of breads and pastries provided by the Bowling Green Christian Food Pantry and the Sweet Stop.

Volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Bowling Green, provide event help including the distribution of the meals, food bags and bread/pastries. Additional support is provided by Bowling Green’s ARPA Non-Profit fund.

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