Food Ministry

Central hosts a weekly rescue food distribution every Friday morning from 11:40 am to 12:30 pm in the Interface Room on the main floor.  We collect donated rescued food to distribute to those in need in the community and beyond.

The rescued foods are items that would have otherwise gone to waste.  We are thankful for donations from the local food banks, community partners that support our food ministry.

Everyone is welcome to participate and encouraged to bring their own shopping bags or carts.  Additionally, small contributions to help the local food banks supporting our distribution are appreciated.  It's a great way to give back!

Volunteer Opportunity

Do you have a desire to help others in our community?  Connect with others?

The Greek Aristotle once said that the essence of life is "to serve others and do good".
How serving and helping each other benefits not just others but ourselves, too.
Volunteering is important as it offers essential help to worthwhile causes, people in need, and the wider community.

CENTRAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS

The food rescue donations come from various sources such as the local food bank and business community partners.  Each is a great organization saving foods that would have ended up in enormous quantity in landfills.  Their generous donations for our weekly food distribution only made it possible by their supports.

Together as a community we strive to raise fund throughout the year to support our local food bank and community partners.  One hundred percent of the collected contribution is donated back to support their steep costs of operations.

Here at Central we believe in working together and supporting one another.
