GLADWIN COUNTY
There was a Gladwin/Beaverton Community Food Distribution (GBCFD) on Saturday, November 12, in the parking lot of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Gladwin. Over 16,000 pounds of food from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan was passed out to 269 households and 793 household members. This distribution would not have been possible without the 31 volunteers who came out to work at the distribution.
Among those, were members from Christ the King Lutheran Church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Midland, Beaverton Church of the Nazarene, Our Savior Lutheran Church, St. Paul Episcopal Church, Gladwin Rotary, Region 7 Council on Aging, CERT, Gladwin Knights of Columbus, Democratic Party, and other community members. A hearty thank you goes out to all who made this food distribution possible, including the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.
The Gladwin/Beaverton Community Food Distribution will be hosting its next distribution on Saturday, December 17 at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 600 S. M-18, Gladwin. Pre-registration is not required for this distribution. The handing out of food will begin around 10 a.m.
The Knights of Columbus Hall parking lot on M-18 will be used for staging cars. Please check the following websites for updated information pertaining to GBCFD:
