Our KofC council is collecting food for 200 families, iirc. They hand out slips to the congregation - “4 cake mixes,” “8 boxes of instant grits,” and so on - and then put together packages for several days’ worth of meals for each recipient. It’s a hugh job.

K of C helps at our church too —

Another possibility: the second weekend of every month we sponsor a St. Vincent DePaul Society van for canned or boxed food collection.

The St. Vincent DePaul Society then uses these groceries to provide needy families with food.

Along the way — I even took my identification and a bill to prove that I lived in the area and got a food box. (It was during a time after my husband’s death when I still had depenedents at home, but the Social Security Death Benefits for them had ceased.
