On Saturday, September 27,  Bread of Life Presbyterian Church and the St. Stephens Branch of River Bend Foodbank will be conducting a drive-thru and walk-up food pantry  in the parking lot at the corner of 17th and Main Streets in downtown Dubuque.  The goal is to address hunger and food insecurity in our community.  Food will be given out free of charge to those who need it.  There are no requirements for participation.  We plan to serve around 200 families at the event.

VOLUNTEERS: We expect to get many requests from individuals and community groups that would like to assist with this project.  Our volunteers will  begin working at 8:00 AM that morning and we expect to finish around 10:30 AM.    It is important that we know a week in advance (by September 20) what individuals or groups are coming and how many people are volunteering so that we can send instructions and prepare for them.  We can provide jobs for everyone regardless of abilities, from greeting people to heavy lifting!
