Food Drive-Thru

Posted by Shades Staff

On Saturday, May 9, we're holding a food drive-thru in partnership with Christian Service Mission.

Church, you've done such a phenomenal job finding ways to live sent during COVID-19, but this is an opportunity for the everyone. And you'll get to see our staff team! We'll have familiar faces at each drop-off location waving to you and unloading your groceries.

The team at CSM is running low on food to distribute to the needy, so we're encouraging every family to go to the store and purchase groceries (canned and boxed grocery items are acceptable). They've met food needs for approximately 5,000 people to date during the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to honor and support their efforts in loving our city!

There's no limit to the amount each person can bring, so let's join together to support this wonderful ministry!
