Bags are distributed only on the first full weekend of the month
For example: If the 28th or 31st falls on a Saturday, and the 1st falls on a Sunday we wouldn't hand out bags. If it's a full weekend where the 1st is on Saturday and the 2ndis on Sunday, we can distribute bags.
Bags are collected the following weekend (Saturday & Sunday) of the month.
We appreciate the parish volunteers; however, the Immokalee food drive is ideally managed and coordinated by the parish Knights of Columbus members. We would not want to unnecessarily burden or injure parishioners by assisting.
We are working with David Strout (current Family Services director) and Chuck Donaldson (Grand Knight) to identify the best course of action in the distribution process of donated goods on the respective days.
Concerning logistics in getting the goods down to Guadalupe Social Services, we currently utilize a driver schedule, preferably Knights to drive down on Monday. The drivers use the parish van and are registered and vetted.
If any volunteers would like to be considered for driver details, we would need them registered and vetted. They must have a valid driver's license.
