Food For Friends Program

At Putnam Christian Outreach, we believe that no one should go hungry. That’s why we are proud to offer the Food for Friends Program, a vital initiative providing food to those in need throughout our community.

How It Works:

Thanks to generous donations and the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), we are able to distribute nutritious food to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to fresh, healthy meals, no matter their circumstances.

When & Where:

  • 3rd Monday of Each Month – A special food distribution event, open to all who need assistance.

  • Daily Donations – Food is available every day for those in urgent need.

Who Can Receive Assistance?

Anyone in need is welcome! Whether you are facing temporary hardship or ongoing food insecurity, we are here to help. There are no strict requirements—just come as you are.

How to Get Involved:

We rely on the generosity of donors and volunteers to keep this program running. If you would like to contribute, you can:

  • Donate Food – Non-perishable and fresh food donations are always welcome.

  • Volunteer – Help with sorting, packing, and distributing food.

  • Give Financially – Monetary donations help us purchase essential food items and support the program's operations.
