Our First Food Box Pickup

Our little church decided it was time to get our name out in the community. Janell found a ministry based in Philadelphia called Share Food. It didn't take long for us to figure out that this program was a really great fit for our church and community. Once a month anyone can order a box of nutritious, fresh food for $20. The box is worth $35-$40. We made fliers and passed them out and in our first month we had 41 boxes of food ordered. So last Saturday, Janell, Grandad, Aliza, Renee and I drove to Cambridge to pick up our boxes.

We loaded those boxes into 2 minivans.

There was also a pallet of Kind granola bars that were free. Thankfully those boxes were small and we filled all the empty spaces with Kind boxes.

When we got back to the church others were there to help unload. The children added the lettuce to each box. The meat also had to be bagged separately.

Everything ready for pickup! We had quite a greeting crew and the men and children carried boxes to the cars for the people who ordered. It was fun to meet everyone and give our church building an additional use.
