  • The Let's Feed Citrus ministry held a special food distribution Thursday morning

  • Those with Cavalry Church say they typically see anywhere between 200 and 300 cars during a distribution
  • The next distribution will take place the first week of February

Droves of vehicles lined up for the mobile food distribution outside Calvary Church. An assortment of goods could be seen being handed out, from fresh fruit and vegetables to non-perishables.

Typically, the ministry hosts the distributions twice a month. The distribution is made possible through the church’s ministry, Let’s Feed Citrus.

Those with the church say were expecting a delivery Wednesday morning, but because of the winter weather, it was moved to Thursday.

“When you actually come out and see the need, it touches your heart,” said Jared Burke, executive director for Let’s Feed Citrus. “For me, it’s about the people. We wouldn’t do this if it wasn’t about the people and just loving people.”

“That’s our calling as a church. Not just to be in church but to do something and help people.”

Burke says they typically see anywhere between 200 and 300 cars during a distribution. Their next event will take place in the first week of February.
