Food Fair

Every third Saturday of the month, Ford Bend Care Center partners with Second Mile to distribute about 10,000 pounds of food to more than 100 families in need.

We mainly provide fresh fruits and vegetables, along with some grocery items to offer nutrition beyond canned and dry food items.

Examples of produce we typically distribute may include: watermelon, bananas, pineapples, tangerines, honeydew, carrots, onions, yams, potatoes, cabbage, bell peppers, or lettuce.

How It Works

On the food fair morning, people will first check in and register. Volunteers divide the food into portions and help load it into people's cars.

Volunteers

Food Fair needs about 40 volunteers each time to help facilitate the day and sort food. Volunteers are asked to be there from 9am-12noon. Small groups or fellowships are especially encouraged to sign up.
