How does the curbside pickup work?
When you enter the church's parking lot, use the far western entrance. Parking lot attendants will direct you to a row, where you will drive up and wait until it is your turn. Once they direct you, you will circle around to a check-in attendant, who will get your information and what you need. You will then drive to another area to receive your food. Simply unlock your vehicle and workers will put boxes and bags of groceries in your car. If you request diapers, you will be sent to another lane to receive those along with your food. Once they are done loading everything up for you, drive around and exit the parking lot using the eastern exit.
We give out food until we run out of everything for the week, which is usually up to around 240 prepared boxes. Once we reach capacity, we close off the west entrance.
We cannot serve you if you do not come in a vehicle.

¿Cómo funciona la recogida en la acera?
Cuando ingrese al estacionamiento de la iglesia, use la entrada del extremo occidental. Los asistentes del estacionamiento lo dirigirán a una fila, donde conducirá y esperará hasta que sea su turno. Una vez que lo indiquen, se dirigirá a un asistente de check-in, quien obtendrá su información y lo que necesita. Luego conducirá a otra área para recibir su comida. Simplemente desbloquee su vehículo y los trabajadores colocarán cajas y bolsas de comestibles en su automóvil. Si solicita pañales, lo enviarán a otro carril para recibirlos junto con su comida. Una vez que hayan terminado de cargar todo para usted, conduzca y salga del estacionamiento por la salida este.
Repartimos comida hasta que nos quedamos sin todo para la semana, que suele ser unas 240 cajas preparadas. Una vez que alcancemos la capacidad, cerramos la entrada oeste.
No podemos atenderle si no viene en vehículo.

Brighter Days Food Pantry is an equal opportunity provider.

We also advertise on Facebook and the Nextdoor app. Occasionally on Wednesday evenings during the Food Pantry, we give our overstock clothing out. We are very thankful that God provides our needs. We are blessed with an abundance of donations from individuals and our members here.
