Federated Food Distribution
As of today, Federated feeds 100+ vulnerable people in our community every Sunday after Service.
Learn About Our Program
In October, Flagstaff Federated Community Church established a partnership with our local Wholefoods. Every Sunday, Wholefoods donates a load of groceries to be used in our community. Since October, we have started regular food bank opportunities for these two locations. In December, we established a hot food selection based on donations from the previous week. One of our goals is to establish a sustainable and ethically responsible program that seeks to reduce food waste in our local community. Thus, at the end of each week, we take inventory of the previous week’s leftovers and build our next menu around these remains. We will expand this program to include more volunteers, partner with Trinity Heights to feed the homeless population using their facility as part of the overflow from Shelter Services and assist with the development of a community food bank. We will also begin actively recruiting other grocery stores so this program can continue to grow, and we are recruiting a youth population to help with the hot meal program.As of today, every Sunday, Federated feeds 100+ vulnerable people in our community.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are encouraged to join us. We need assistance both in the kitchen and in the community. Currently, we make a hot meal each Sunday beginning at 10am. Youth are encouraged to join us to practice their culinary skills.
We are looking for 2-3 volunteers each Sunday to help serve our Community. Volunteers need to have their own transportation as we visit multiple locations throughout Flagstaff. Volunteers will help with food distribution. This involves loading and unloading crates of food, organizing throughout each visit, serving warm food and building rapport with our vulnerable population.
