What Is The Food Program? As part of the social ministries, the food and clothing assistance program is a way we supply groceries or individuals on a n intermediate, emergency, or temporary basis.

What Do We Do?

• We supply enough food to feed a family until their situation has improved or changed. This usually is a five day supply, sometimes as many as seven days.

Who Is Aided By This Program?

• People who live in the church area and all of the 23502 zip, friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers of congregation members. Sometimes members are in need also.

How Do Families In Need Come To Us?

• They are put in touch with our program in many ways:
• Referrals by social services.
• Via the United Way Help Line.
• By word of mouth from other recipients.
• Through congregation members.
• Referrals by the Southeastern Food Bank.
• Listing in the Yellow Pages.

Where And What Is The Southeastern Food Bank?

• Located on Granby street in Norfolk, it is a collection, storage, and distribution center of locally distributed donated products and also USDA and FEMA products. Shopping is available to member churches and organizations in good standing.

How Much Does Our Food Program Cost?

• Our program is fully operated on donations used to buy staples and some non-food items such as soap and paper products. The approximate cost per person is just one dollar a day.

What Are The Hours Of Operation?

• Tuesday 12:00-4:00 p.m., Wednesday 10:00 a.m- 2:00 p.m, and Thursday 10:00 a.m- 2:00 p.m.

What Can We Do?

• Continued support is needed all year. Donations of any usable food item (canned, dried, or frozen products) as well as funds are welcome. Good, clean, usable clothing, especially children's size, are always needed. We use paper grocery bags, so save them and bring them in from time to time.
