First Church Coral Springs continues to assist area residents suffering from food insecurity by providing fresh food during their weekly drive-thru distributions.

In partnership with Feeding South Florida, their next food drive will be held Saturday, February 6, 2021.

Last Saturday, 15,000 pounds of food were distributed to 283 families, said Steve Eagle, chairperson for First Church missions.

Although the food will vary weekly, recipients can expect fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat, dairy products, and some canned items. All donated food will be placed directly into the vehicles’ open trunks by volunteers following CDC guidelines on a first-come, first-served basis.

The drive-thru event is from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. First Church Coral Springs is located at 8650 W. Sample Rd.
