FOOD: Fair Oaks Community Center Food Distribution

Project Overview

Fair Oaks Community Center is a monthly drive-through food distribution program, serving over 280 families. Families drive up to one of the three available stations to be greeted by volunteers ready to load their cars.

Volunteers will support with bagging food, distributing pre-assembled boxes of groceries, cleaning up, and more.
