April schedule for Catholic Charities Food Distribution

Catholic Charities has released its food distribution schedule for the month of April which can be downloaded here or found below.

Please note the varying start times for all April dates.  Volunteers are needed to assist in the packaging and distribution of food. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 8:15 am for morning distributions.

These food distributions, or “drive-thru pantries,” are a part of Catholic Charities’ mobile outreach initiative, CC MOVE, an effort to provide supplemental food in areas with limited access to services at time when many are struggling.

Food items provided by the Regional Food Bank will be pre-packaged by volunteers from partnering organizations. Distributions are open to the public and no pre-registration is required.
