Drive-Thru Food Drives
During the height of the pandemic, we distributed 1.6 million pounds of food to 24,853 families. This abundant need, and equally abundant generosity, inspired the remodeling of our food shelf to better accommodate everyone in the community.
We have partnered with the Church of the Nativity in Bloomington to continue to provide food in a convenient drive-thru fashion once a month. For more information on these events, please visit their website here.
