We start setting up for meals at 4:00 PM. We package the meals with utensils in individual bags. Meal distribution start on average between 4:30 and 4:45 depending on the quantity of meals for the day.

We are currently distributing meals on every TUESDAY and THURSDAY. Extreme, dangerous weather is the only reason we will not serve meals. We will update through social media and our website of changes.
