Summer Food Share – July 17, 2022

Summer Sunday Food Share
Donations for the Richmond Baptist Centers

Donation Drop Off
Sunday, July 17, 2022
Lower Commons

Please note: designated volunteers will not be at the Lower Commons entrance to collect your donations. Please drop your groceries off in the green grocery cart located in the Lower Commons anytime on Sunday.

We hope you will continue to support our monthly food collections. The need for food in the Richmond area is still great. Each month, your donations are helping fill the food pantries at both the Church Hill Wellness Center and the South Richmond Baptist Center.

If you are unable to drop off on July 17:

  • You can drop off in the green grocery cart in the Lower Commons at anytime. (Please note, the Lower Commons is locked during the week—you will need to ring the bell/buzzer at the Lower Commons entrance, and someone from the church office or preschool office will grant access to the building.)
  • You can contact Carol Cruickshanks to pick up from your home.

The food share team is fully stocked on paper bags.

River Road Church has a long history of working in many capacities with our three Baptist Centers: Church Hill, Oregon Hill, and South Richmond. We have donated food and other needed items, and we have gone to the centers and provided services and care.

Welborne Community Pantry

We encourage those who would like to continue donating to Welborne UMC food pantry to drop off their specified items directly to Welborne: 9:30-11:00 a.m. on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. If more convenient, you may drop off those bags of food on First Sunday Food Share, but please mark those bags with a LARGE W since they have specific food requests for Welborne. You can check Welborne’s Facebook for details and updates.
