Kuna Food Drive
Let's go out and meet our neighbors while doing good. The Kuna Community Food Drive is fast approaching and Kuna United Methodist is one of several participating organizations.
The Kuna Community Food Drive is the primary source of inventory for the Kuna Food Bank, and the need for donations is greater than ever. Food bank usage has increased a whopping 641% since 2021!
How you can help
Sunday, November 3 | Distributing Flyers
This weekend after worship, we'll head out to homes near the church and a pair of neigbhorhoods by D & B Supply to distribute flyers. Messaging on the flyers describes how residents can help by leaving food donations by their front doors the following weekend. Meet in the church parking lot at 11:30 and then we'll head out.
Saturday, November 9 | Collecting Donations
The greatest need on this day is for volunteers to return to the neighbhorhoods we visited earlier in the week to retrieve food donated by residents. Then we'll take the donations to the church for sorting. If you have wagons or totes, please bring them along. Meet in the church parking lot at 9:00 a.m.
Saturday, November 9 | Sorting Donations
Volunteers are needed to sort food donations collected by KUMC volunteers and other organizations delivering to Kuna United Methodist. This job requires putting cans and packages into boxes based on categories such as soup and condiments. Full boxes will be sealed and labeled for storage in donated warehouse space. Be at the church ready to begin at 10:00 a.m.
Saturday, November 9 | Driving Pickup Trucks
One pickup and a trailer have been committed for transporting the donations. Additional pickups and drivers are needed for retrieving food from neighborhoods and moving filled boxes to the storage facility.
If you can share your time on one or both days, please lend a hand to ensure our local food bank is ready to help our neighbors as we head into winter.
