Those who are experiencing food insecurity are encouraged to participate in the Nov. 8 drive-thru community meal and food/toiletries distribution hosted by First Christian Church of Bowling Green, 875 Haskins Road. The event is from 5 to 6 p.m.
The meal is free and participants are also encouraged to pick up groceries and shop for select toiletries, breads and pastries.
To participate in the event, arrive between 5 and 6 p.m. at the FCC parking lot and remain in your car. Volunteers will take your order, hand deliver the meals, and direct you to the groceries and toiletries. Meals, groceries, breads and pastries are available on a first-come first-served basis. The groceries and toiletries are limited to one shopping experience per household and the head of household must be present.
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 the generosity of First Presbyterian Church, Bowling Green. Participants are also offered a variety of breads and pastries provided by the Bowling Green Christian Food Pantry.
Volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 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 the community.
