Food 4 Families
HELP US FEED OUR NEIGHBORS AND THEIR CHILDREN THIS SUMMER!
More than 50% of the children at Bethel, Cove Creek, and Mabel Schools receive Free or Reduced lunch during the school year. In the summer the free and reduced lunches are not available…that’s where the Food 4 Families mission project comes in and we would love for you to join us!
This summer the sign up will be altered to comply with safety for all involved in the packing and delivery process.
We are following the recommended safety guidelines which include:
1. Everyone will be required to wear a mask and use hand sanitizer
2. Limited numbers of people will be allowed to pack
3. Social distancing will be required for non-family members
1. Everyone will be required to wear a mask and use hand sanitizer
2. Limited numbers of people will be allowed to pack
3. Social distancing will be required for non-family members
For this reason, we will be packing on several consecutive days instead of doing all of the work on one day. This is what the first packing / delivery will look like:
Sunday June 21 – 4-5:30pm Make/Label Boxes and Food Table Set up
Monday June 22 – 6-7:30pm Food Packing
Tuesday June 23 – 9:30-12pm Food Delivery
Tuesday June 23 – 9:30-12pm Food Delivery
This year we are going to only have sign-ups for the first packing date to see how our plans go for coordination etc., and will make changes if necessary. The next packing / delivery will be on July 5-7, July 19-21 and August 2-4.
To sign up for Food for Families please contact Anna Lehman, Food 4 Families volunteer coordinator at Littlebird1522@yahoo.com or 828-964-9055 by June 10th to volunteer.
