Free Food
Kevin Surbaugh
The fourth Thursday of each month, Harvesters brings a semi truck full of food to Baldwin City in what they call a mobile food bank. Setting up in the Assembly of God parking lot on Fifth Street. The distribution is on a first come, first serve basis and is not based on income. Those interested in receiving a distribution of food simply needs to line up and remain in their car. Distribution begins at 10 A.M., however, cars begin lining up along Baker Street, before 8 A.M. and by 8:30 A.M. the line is nine cars long and backed up to Fourth Street. By the 10 A.M. start time cars are backed up to Third Street, and some months even further.
