When:
Saturday, March 28 from 7:30am-10:30am.
Where:
Across from the FedEx Forum in the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church lot (277 S. 4th Street)
Alternative parking is available at: Ida B Wells and Pontotoc, if needed.
Volunteers will help bag items for the pantry drive-thru and help pack food boxes for MIFA’s senior homebound clients. First, we will go through all the food the pantry has and select the items to best help our seniors.
Once those boxes are packed and into cars, the Meals on Wheels drive teams will roll out at 8:15 am sharp to deliver them.
We will then help at the mobile pantry itself from 8:30am to 10:30am. Hundreds of cars with families are fed at each event!
