June 29th the Bloomfield Lions Club will be working with the Bloomfield First Christian Church on this Drive through Food give away, last month we gave a total of 200 meals between the drive through (in the pouring rain) and from the fridge outside Persimmon Tree Foods and Gifts later that evening.
If you are looking to feed yourself or your family, just show up (Line up starts on Jefferson St facing North. Some streets will be blocked to make the flow of traffic work, so you are best to enter Jefferson St down by the Fire Station and drive up until you see the line.
Volunteers will come out to your vehicle and find out how many meals you need, and then direct you on when to move up and receive your meals.
Food insecurity is on the rise at a rapid pace, according to Feeding America, this time last year 1 in 7 Hoosiers were struggling to access daily necessities.
In April of this year a central Indiana study found 54% of households faced food insecurity at some point last year, including families above the poverty line.
We do not ask anyone to qualify why they need food, we just feed them.
Our volunteers also receive a weekly donation of food from any excess Stoll's Lakeview Restaurant has from their buffet. this is portioned out by our volunteers and placed in the refrigerator outside of Persimmon Tree Foods and Gifts . Again no one has to qualify for it, no paperwork, no questions about your lifestyle, or monetary situation, just food if you are hungry.
📣The Bloomfield First Christian Church & Bloomfield Lions Club have partnered together to bring you a free community drive thru dinner!
We were able to serve 80 meals at our first drive thru dinner in May & 120 more from our fridge in front of Persimmon Tree Foods and Gifts. In addition to the BBQ dinners in the fridge, we also served 123 quarts of homemade ham & bean soup. We are looking forward to sharing with you again in June!
