Velocity Food Drive

Monday, July 27, 12:00am

Contact: Luke Gustafson

tarting Monday we will be hosting our Velocity Student Food Drive! In the aftermath of numerous difficult events and circumstances that our city has faced in the last 6 months, people need each other now more than ever; they need the love of Christ. To help in a practical way we will be holding a food drive. However, this won't be a typical food drive, there's a little community outreach involved. 

 

On Sunday we will be passing out bags with flyers (explaining the details of the drive) attached to them for each student who is going to participate. Each student, then, will take a set amount number of bags (min 10) and go door to door in their neighborhood on Monday, giving each house a bag and asking them if they would like to participate. If they say yes, they will take the bag and fill it with non-perishable food items; then, they will put their bag back out on their front doorstep on Thursday morning before 9AM, at which point the student will go to the houses in their neighborhood and collect all the bags of food and bring them to City Church. From there, we'll bring the food to CES. 

 

If everyone participates, this will be a cool way to spread the impact and do something within the community. If 20 students participate and just do the minimum 10 bags, that's already 200 bags full of food to go to people who need it! If you are too shy to talk to bunch of strangers, bring your family with; you could even just ding dong ditch them (the flyer explains the rules of the food drive).. but also that's probably not the best option. 

 

If you can't be there Sunday night for the launch but want to participate, contact Luke and set up a time to grab supplies or donate financially.
