Our Mobile Food Pantry meets on the first Thursday of each month from 11:00 to 2:00 p.m. Silver Spring UMC is one of 42 Mobile Market sites in the DC Metropolitan area.
We participate in the Capital Area Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry Program, which delivers fresh produce and groceries at no cost to sites, each of which provides the facility, a site manager, and volunteers who distribute the food to the community. Everyone is welcome to receive a share of the food provided; no referrals or registration required.
We distribute approximately 3,000 pounds of produce each month and we serve over 50 families. 20 volunteers are needed each month for this ministry. Adults and high school students are invited to come volunteer with us between 10:00 am and 2:30 pm. Students will receive SSL hours. Volunteers are invited to participate in no less than two hour shifts starting with loading and unpacking at 8:30 a.m. On-site training is provided.
