The Rose Drive Friends Church Food Ministry exists to fight hunger in our community in Jesus’ name. Through generous donations from our church family, local supermarkets, and Second Harvest Food Bank we are able to serve hundreds of people and families a month.
FOOD DRIVE
Please join us, as we partner with our Food Ministry to increase our essential food inventory as there has been a notable drop in food supply from our primary sources. The specific items needed are: mac & cheese, Cup Noodles, Top Ramen, creamy peanut butter, dried beans (any kind), pasta, pasta sauce, canned veggies, cereal, canned tuna, and canned chicken. You can drop these items on the church patio during the week or on Sundays. For your convenience, you may also shop our Amazon Wishlist and the food items will be delivered directly to the church. Thank you for your gracious generosity! Questions? Please email Cece at cecet@rdf.org.
Distribution Hours:
Wednesdays from 4:00-5:00 PM
Saturdays from 8:30-9:30 AM
Distribution is located in E104-105 on the ground level of the Clocktower Building.
In order to have a fair and inclusive method for distribution, we distribute through a lottery system. Check-in opens 20-25 minutes before distribution starts. Upon arrival, please check in and receive a lottery number. We will call and collect your numbers when the distribution opens. Because of this system, there is no need to arrive way ahead of time to secure earliest entry into the distribution line. If you arrive 10 minutes after distribution opens you will check in and enter distribution at the end of the lottery line. A person from each household must be present. You cannot pick up for other households. Please bring your own grocery bags for your food.
To donate non-perishable food, please place any non-expired, non-perishable items in the bin just outside the Sanctuary.
The most needed items are cereal, rice, canned vegetables, fruit and beans, snacks, dry potatoes, dry beans, canned meat, macaroni and cheese, pasta, ramen, and peanut butter. Thank you for helping us feed our neighbors!
