or many years, members and friends of the I m m a c u l a t e Conception Church have given their time and energy to help with the Dinner Hours ministry, and most recently the food distribution program. In many cases, these dedicated individuals come on a weekly basis to unload, sort out, package and distribute food supplies to people in need of a little help in supporting their families.
For more than 30 years, Eloy Sanchez, Director of the Dinner Hour Ministry and Food Distribution, has been leading this team of volunteers who coordinate their efforts to
provide and distribute food supplies to more than 500 people each week.
“We are very appreciative of our church volunteers,” says Doug Blinkinsop, one of the program leaders, who continued, “They come to help and always get the job done, rain or shine.” Each and every Wednesday, the volunteers report to the church early to sort out and package food bags. By the time the distribution starts at 9:00am, the food bags, along with several other donated items are methodically lined up in the parking lot ready to go. On most days, the cars are already lined up around the block more than an hour before the drive-thru opens. In addiChurch cont. next pg.
