Tuesdays, May 28 - July 30

Each summer we provide groceries for the children in the Baker Glover community. During the school year, the children receive free lunches at school. During the summer, the children do not have access to this program, so GFUMC stands in the gap.

We will begin deliveries in just a few short weeks and we would love to have you join us! You can participate by shopping, packing and delivering. To sign up, click the Serve Summer Lunches button below. An additional way that you can help is by donating your used plastic grocery bags. We will be collecting them starting Sunday, May 19 - Sunday, June 16.

There are three time slots each day; one for packing and one for loading/delivering. Packing consists of filling two grocery bags per family. The "cold" bags will be left in the cooler and the dry bags will be loaded on carts. Loading/delivering means that you load the bags onto the church bus and ride with the driver, getting out at designated houses to drop off the bags. (We use the bus for delivery because 1) the families know to look for it 2)the volume of the groceries makes it impossible to fit in a personal vehicle and 3)the driver knows the route and makes the delivery time much quicker and smoother) Driving means that you have a CDL to drive the church bus, you are on the church list of approved drivers, and you will drive the route for delivery.

There is one sign-up in each slot. Although one person can do either task alone, it is better (and quicker) with some helpers, so recruit your friends and family! The person who signs up is the "captain" of that slot and serves as the contact in case any change becomes necessary.

Please review the available slots and sign up below. If you have any questions, please call or text Mary Wall (205)-242-1372. The families appreciate your participation in this outreach ministry! Thank you!
