The 2019 Food Pick-up date is Saturday, May 11. This means that about one week before, those signed up for bag drop off will go out and deliver bags between May 2 and 7.

 

Bag deliverers will knock on the doors in their route to hand someone a bag and flyer/food list. If there is no one to hand a bag to, leaving the bag at the door where it won't blow away is fine.

​

On May 11 at 8:30AM, everyone will meet at Gateway church for Coffee, Prayer and Instructions. They will then travel to their routes. Runners will then go door to door knocking and asking for food donations, collecting food and dropping it in their driver's vehicle.

​

Once all the food in a route has been collected, drivers will bring the food back to Gateway Church where it will be weighed and sorted by food sorters. Everyone is encouraged to come back to the church after the food is collect for lunch, fellowship and celebration of a job well done.

​

Further instructions will be sent by email as needed. Drivers may be called by organizers on May 11 as a way of contacting their group.
