Join Woodlawn-Faith UMC at St. John's Baptist Church on Fordson Road to pack food boxes for folks in our community to collect. MISSION INFORMATION < Previous Back to Local Missions Next > Woodlawn- Faith Food Distribution Woodlawn-Faith UMC buys canned goods and produce from the Capital Area Food Bank , which the Food Bank delivers to St. John’s Baptist Church on Fordson Road. Produce comes in bulk and has to be bagged for distribution. Another person collects bread and pastry products from Costco and local grocery stores to be added to the boxes. Cars line up around the parking lot on a first-come/first-serve basis. Food boxes (canned goods, bread, and pastries) and bags (produce) are loaded into the cars as they drive by. The only record kept is on the number of people benefiting from the food. No other questions asked. Fresh produce is also donated to Mondloch House. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rZuUgmzE28 The upcoming dates are: October 16th November 20th Come any time on these dates. No reservation or sign-up required! Drop by any time and stay for as long as you can! Students can earn community service hours. For questions, please contact Karen Latta . < Previous Next >

Those who volunteer to deliver the bagged lunches have shared that the people who receive the sack lunches are very appreciative, and that it is a blessing to those who deliver because they get to see the end results of all the planning and work that goes into the Phoenix Rising program.
