You can help! FFCC partners with FISH of Cowlitz County to distribute food boxes to our community.
More hands needed for this Christmas month food distribution - we will be serving more families! Our time frame will be a little longer, and many extras to be packaged.
What we do:
During the month: Our team collects food items from church donations and other local resources. Our distribution day is usually a Monday, about once a month.
The day before: After the Sunday 11am worship service the day before our food distribution, many hands are needed to clear the foyer, setup tables, and carry boxes of food.
The day of distribution: Perishable food items are added to the food boxes, additional food donations arrive from local grocery stores and are sorted and displayed for recipient selection. Volunteers are needed to receive and record recipient information from the FISH coordinator, greet and check-in recipients, assist recipients through the pickup area, and load food boxes into vehicles. Distribution ends around noon, followed by a quick cleanup, putting away tables and extra food items. It's a busy morning and many hands are needed!
How to receive food: Call 360-636-1100 weekdays between 9 a.m. and noon. Food distribution begins at 10am, and food boxes are only provided to those who have received a number from the FISH office on the day of distribution. FISH partners with 18 churches in Longview and Kelso to give away food five days a week.
