What is Feed the Harbor?
Feed the Harbor is a one day opportunity for all the churches of Charlotte County to come together and fill the local food pantries while providing the community with a picture of what it means for Christ-followers to be the "hands and feet of Jesus."
How does it work?
*Local food pantries provide a list of their most desired non-perishable food items.
*Local Churches distribute copies of this list to their congregations on the Sunday morning of
the event, instructing shoppers to purchase
according to their personal ability and desire.
*"Shoppers" take their lists and head to local designated shopping site * Volunteers will sort the food and assist food pantry staff to load their vehicles for distribution.
