This November 27th we’re raising money to feed the hungry. Every $800 buys 30,000lbs of food.

``Love opportunities to be the hands and feet of Christ. Thank you for providing such amazing opportunities to reach out and serve others.``

Impact

There are 8,900 food insecure people living in our community. The 30,000lbs of food we distribute {twice a month} is enough to feed up to 500 families for 10-12 days.

`` I love volunteering at your distributions whenever I can. I believe you do an incredible service to the community and I appreciate getting to do a very small part!``

Where

Each month, we hold two mobile food pantry events. Families in need line up early, and volunteers help unload the truck, organize the chaos and load grocery carts full of food for those in need. These events are held monthly in Commerce and Pendergrass, Georgia.

``Jesus said whatever you do to the least of my people, you do unto me ... I love doing good amongst the people. I've been where some of them are and had help; iServe gives me the chance to pay it forward.``

The Need

We rely on our financial partners to provide the funding for our mobile food pantry events. In 2019 there will be 24 food truck events, and each truck full of food costs just $800. In addition to the cost of the food, we have about $400 per month in additional expenses related to the events. Will you partner with us in 2019?

Other Ways to Give

Each mobile food pantry event takes a minimum of 40 volunteers to run. In addition to financial partners, we love to connect with those who have a heart to serve and can commit to one or both food trucks each month.

>> 7:00AM Volunteers arrive
>> 8:00AM Food line is open
>> 9:00AM Clean up begins
>> 9:30AM Volunteer high five “we did it!”

Volunteers are needed to unload the food truck, organize the food, accept paperwork from recipients, talk to those in line, take groceries to vehicles, and to help clean up. No matter your giftedness or age, we’ll find a place for you!
