Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church is again sponsoring a mobile drive-thru pantry on Saturday, Jan. 29 starting at 9 a.m.

The church plans to prepare enough food boxes to serve up to 300 families, regardless of income level, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and food will be distributed starting at 9:00 a.m. Unlike most food distributions, people served by the mobile pantry will not have to get out of their car. They will go through a pick-up line and volunteers will deliver the food directly to their vehicles, placing the food boxes in the back seat or in the trunk. Cars will line up facing north on College Street opposite Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

“We will line up right in front of the church (Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church) on College Street. We will start registration at 8:00 am. We will need the names of the recipients and the number of families served. We are limited to two families per vehicle to ensure we have enough food,” added Isaac Gray, minister of Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Others interested in volunteering can drop by Saturday, January 29 or call for more information at 615-597-4197.
