On the third Thursday of every month Coastside Hope partners with Second Harvest Food Bank to provide monthly groceries to about 100 families with dependent children. The average Family Harvest recipient household’s income is $1,441 per month. On the day of the distribution, Second Harvest delivers six to seven tons of food to our Princeton Harbor warehouse at 1:30 pm. Volunteers then break the bulk food into family sized servings. Recipients queue up in their cars and our volunteers give them their bags of groceries for the month starting at about 2:30 pm, and going until 5:00 pm. Carpools are common, as many cannot afford a car. The program is an efficient use of resources, taking less than four hours and only two employees. Our volunteers make it all happen — neighbors helping neighbors! This is a great event for high-school students to get their required community hours. 

Drive through Food Distribution –  Second Harvest provides food boxes for families. Volunteers are needed to load food boxes in cars.

Location: 214 Harvard, Princeton Harbor (corner of Harvard and Airport) – also known as “The Adopt-A-Family warehouse”.

Time: 1:30 – 5:00
