DONATION OPPORTUNITIES
If you feel led, there are lots of ways to donate to help those in need of additional food resources during this time. Click any of the buttons here to find ways to donate actual food items, give financially, or volunteer your time to a few organizations that have boots on the ground, distributing food across our county and state.
In speaking directly with representatives at a few of these organizations, physical donations are always welcome... At the same time, most of these organizations have the access and capability to purchase food items at a cheaper rate than the general public. This means these orgs can often purchase double the amount of food that we can with the same amount of money. So financial donations are also very welcome. Both make a big difference and are appreciated!

MOBILE FOOD MARKET
First & Third Wednesdays of the Month
For the past six years, Northpark has partnered with The Oaks Community and the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to host a bi-weekly Mobile Market and provide FREE food for anyone in our community that needs it. Local grocers and farms donate produce, meat, bread, desserts, dry goods, and more, and the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle delivers these donations to The Oaks neighborhood (near Sanderson High School) every other week.
A team of volunteers (that's us!) helps unload the donation boxes, organize the foods, and then pre-packs large boxes with various foods for those who stop by. The truck typically arrives around 12:30PM on it's scheduled weeks and the unpacking/sorting is typically done between 1:30-2:00PM. Distribution happens after that until 3:00 or 4:00PM.
UPCOMING MARKET DAYS:
Nov 05
Nov 19
Dec 03
Dec 17
Want to help?
If you would like to volunteer one, or even multiple, Wednesdays, or if you would like additional information, contact Stephanie at stephanie@northparkrdu.com for details and location address!
Volunteers are needed and welcome for all or only part of the market times, so please don't hesitate if you can only help for one or two hours!
(Must be 18 or older per Food Shuttle guidelines.)
