For Immediate Release
Center City Church FREE Food Giveaway Reaches One Million Pounds of Food Given Away This Saturday – Drive-Thru or Walk-Up on April 24th at 11 am.
Center City Church will be providing a FREE Food Distribution site this Saturday at 11 am at the Brownstone Church Building 1220 12th Avenue, downtown Altoona.
The USDA food boxes are available to anyone in need and are distributed on a first come – first serve basis. “Getting to one million lbs distributed has been an incredible blessing to us. We started this not knowing how long we would continue, but the need continued – so we kept going,” says Pastor Jim Kilmartin. “There are so many people that have contributed. We are simply the arms of this outreach – and hundreds of people have played a part in that. I want to say thank you because these efforts so bless our volunteers.”
As always, people will be asked to drive-through pick-up in the parking lot. Walk-up pick-up is available as well.
“For over a year, the “City Blessings” ministry of Center City Church has distributed thirty pound USDA food boxes to the City of Altoona. During this year, the program has grown, from a few hundred boxes; to now, nearly twenty-six hundred boxes are handed out during each event. “City Blessings” now ministers food to four counties through fourteen different churches and ministries. As City Blessings passes one million lbs of food this weekend, the volunteers of Center City Church are humbled that they were chosen by our Heavenly Father to be “A Blessing” to our communities.” shared City Blessings Leader Fran Chadick.
We invite everyone to celebrate this and more during our Anniversary Weekend and Building Dedication, May 21st – 23rd. All are welcome!!
