About this Event
On Saturday, July 17, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. New Providence Baptist Church and Forgotten Harvest will feed and clothe Metro Detroit families in need for FREE. In addition, City of Detroit Health Department will provide covid 19 vaccine (walk ins welcome) and Detroit Police Department will donate gun locks to families in attendance.
The mission of the 20th Annual Free Food and Clothing Giveaway is to provide food, clothing, shoes and accessories in a clean, inviting, non threatening environment for those in need. The major premise is not to gain a profit but supply a need to people who otherwise would not be able to buy for themselves or their families.
"God brings things to you, to go through you; to someone else." says Dr. Everett N. Jennings, Sr., Pastor of New Providence Baptist Church
This FREE giveaway is open to everyone, first come, first served while supplies last.
Due to the covid 19 pandemic, we ask that you please wear your mask and bring your own bag. Mask must be worn at all times and 6 ft social distancing must be maintained while on the premises.
Forehead temperature check is required upon entry into the banquet facility to receive the clothing. If you are feeling sick, we ask that you please stay home.
If you would like to volunteer for this awesome giveaway please attend the volunteer meeting scheduled for Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 10:00 a.m.
