Bishop Christopher E. Milton of Holy Assembly Church of God in Christ, Shari Brown of the Ed and Shari Brown Foundation, Martin Gordon, President of Pasadena Community Coalition, and Sheryl Turner, President of Friends of the Miracle Mile are collaborating to distribute food to the community, every Saturday through April 24 (April 10, 17, and 24) beginning at 10 am at the church, 55 E. Villa St., Pasadena, CA 91103. The food boxes are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
“We are blessed to be able to provide this high-quality, fresh food for distribution to families in need during this COVID-19 pandemic,” said Bishop Milton who secured the USDA Farmers-to-Families program. “This will be a continuation of our efforts to provide critical support to families in the area who are challenged to provide nutritious meals for their children. We are especially glad to have the participation of the Ed and Shari Brown Foundation of Beverly Hills.”
“We continue to make this a socially-distanced, no contact, drive-through event,” said Martin Gordon of the Pasadena Community Coalition. “We want to make sure everyone stays safe. We will have a limited number of mask on hand for participants.”
Previous food boxes have included fruit, vegetables, protein, and dairy products.
