Please join us as we provide meals to those in need in the Woodland area! Volunteers are needed to assist with the setup and cleanup of the food distribution. Volunteers are also needed to assist with the inspection of food, pre-packing of food bags, and the loading of bags into clients' vehicles. This distribution has been transitioned to drive-through style versus our traditional market-style to ensure safe social distancing.
