Info

Food distribution is every Tuesday 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon.

Patrons must drive their vehicles to the parking field alongside 4730 Lakeland Highlands Rd, Lakeland (across the street from Church For The One, do not go into the church) to register and get in line.

After registration patrons will be directed to go to the Blessings and Hope parking lot, 2150 East Edgewood Dr. to pick up food. Distribution is by a "drive thru" that is, all patrons will drive through the parking lot and food will be placed into the vehicle's trunk.

Please have your trunk clear - only food that will fit into the car trunk will be given away. We do this to keep vehicles off the highway and to keep our patrons safe. Wait time varies depending on time of arrival at least 1 - 1 1/2hour.

If the students reside in the dorms in POLK County that is their residence at time of pick up.. Also, if a student is in need of food I am sure we can accommodate the student.
