The Greater Cleveland Food Bank’s next drive thru distribution will be Thursday, May 7 from 2 – 5 p.m., rain or shine, at the City of Cleveland Municipal lot.
The Food Bank is planning to distribute a combination of fresh produce and shelf-stable product. The Cleveland Police, Ohio Military Reserve and Ohio National Guard are helping with traffic control as well as the State Highway Patrol with client check-in. The Rock Hall’s music van will be on-site to entertain everyone with music.
We continue to implement safety measures for our staff, volunteers and clients to ensure that this event runs smoothly and achieves its purpose – safely get food to families, seniors and individuals who need it.
To date, more than 16,000 families have been served at these weekly drive-thru distributions.
The same guidelines are in place for anyone planning to attend:- Please pre-register at WeFeedCLE.org. You will receive a number and you will need to bring that number with you to display in your car window as part of the check-in process. This will help minimize personal contact and estimate the number of people expected to attend. Everyone is strongly encouraged to pre-register. If you need additional help, please call the Food Bank Help Center at 216-738-2067.
