This assistance is a vital safety net during a time when access to regular meals is not guaranteed. The program includes children enrolled at Lawnwood Elementary, Frances K. Sweet Magnet School, St. Lucie Elementary, and Lindsey School of the Arts.

How To Participate

Ministry volunteers meet at First Church on Thursdays from 8am-9:30am during the school year (August to June) to unpack and shelve food products and then to assemble bags of food for the kids. Volunteers then deliver bags to the schools. Seasonal Visitors are welcome to participate. Fill out a mission interest form for more information.
