This week, we are hosting our annual Thanksgiving Basket project! We will serve the Knoxville area by providing groceries to those experiencing food insecurity. We need lots of hands to make this possible! Please read the opportunities for serving below, and click the link at the bottom of the post to sign-up to serve!
Food Pick-Up — November 17 @ 3:30
Our food will be picked up at the Kroger in Bearden (4918 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919). We will have the church trailer there to load the majority of the food, but always need extra vehicles to help with what does not fit.
Food Sorting — November 17 @ 4:30
Please meet us in the breezeway to help organize and set up our food items. We will unload food from the trailer & vehicles, transport to the gym, sort & organize, and count to insure we have all the necessary items for packing boxes. We anticipate being finished with this project between 5:30-6:00.
Basket Packing — November 21 @ 9:45
We will gather in the gym & CLC Hallway to pack our items for distribution. All food items will be packed into either a cardboard box or a reusable grocery bag. This will take place during the Sunday school hour.
Basket Delivery — November 21 @ 11:30-2:30
After our baskets are packed, we ask for members of our congregation to help deliver baskets to our recipients. They will be taken either to individual residencies or to a local partnership location. Recipients have been told to expect their food to be delivered between 11:30-2:30 PM.
Thanks again for your willingness to serve our community! It is a true joy to provide for this need during Thanksgiving week.
