Next Food Giveaway: December 20th and 21st
(To be eligible to receive groceries, you must be a Stark County or Summit County resident)
On one Friday and Saturday each month, the NCCOC partners with volunteers in our community to giveaway food – A LOT OF FOOD. The giveaway operates as a DRIVE-THRU. Cars enter our parking lot from East Maple Street and are directed to registration. From there, they enter a line where a volunteer will meet them with a smile and a shopping cart full of groceries. The volunteer loads the car and a friend from our community can head home with a trunk full of blessings.
If you'd like to receive groceries, keep reading!
At our food giveaway, we serve more people than our parking lot can handle so we have a process.
Step 1 Get a number
On the Thursday (7am-Noon) before each food giveaway we give out numbers at the NCCOC - Carport # 2. We limit each car to 2 Friday Numbers or 5 Saturday numbers. Why multiple numbers? Some people pick up for friends, neighbors or shut-ins. If you want to pick up for a friend, there are special proxy forms you need to fill out, so call the office first! The numbers tell you when to come to get your groceries, so you don’t have to wait in a super long line, and we don’t get in trouble for having traffic backed up down the street.
Due to the high number of families that we are serving, we are no longer able to serve anyone on Saturday who does not receive a number. We are trying to love and serve as many people in our community as possible. If you do not get a number, you can call the office the following Monday and set up an appointment to get groceries during the week. We will serve as many families as we can while supplies last.
Step 2 Come prepared to register
Enter the NCCOC parking lot from East Maple Street. There will be volunteers directing traffic. Please be careful and follow their directions.
You will need a Photo ID. If the address on your ID isn’t correct, please bring proof of residence like a utility bill.
Step 3 Relax in your car and let us serve you!
You are important to us and to our savior, Jesus Christ. It is an honor for us to serve you. Stay in your car and allow us to load you up with blessings!!
