FRESH MOBILE MARKET 
We are excited to announce a new C4C ministry in a collaboration with Out of the Garden: Fresh Mobile Market. On the 3rd Wednesday of each month, we will distribute fresh food (meat, fruit & vegetables, bread etc.) to the hungry from the parking lot of Northside Presbyterian Church located at 1805 Vaughn Road. Our target audience is Eastlawn families, but anyone is welcome. This is a drive thru distribution. We need lots of volunteers to make this run smoothly. This monthly market begins at 2:00 PM and lasts until we run out of food—usually about an hour and a half or so. Volunteers are needed to help box food, load cars, and direct traffic. Thank you for helping to get food in the hands of the hungry! Sign up to volunteer here. Questions? Contact Ms. Melissa.
