Venture Church will host a monthly fresh produce distribution for the Okatie community on the first Saturday of each month throughout 2026. This area is home to nearly 3,500 food-insecure residents, making this distribution an important resource for local families.
Volunteers will help sort and bag fresh produce for distribution to the public and other local food pantries. The Lowcountry Food Bank truck is scheduled to arrive between 8:30–9:00 AM, and volunteers will begin unloading, sorting, and bagging produce into individual grocery-size bags.
From 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM, the distribution will operate as a drive-through event, where volunteers will help check in guests, hand bags of produce to families, and assist with loading remaining produce into a Second Helpings van or truck for delivery to other partner food pantries.
This role involves light to moderate physical activity. Volunteers may occasionally be asked to lift produce boxes or bags weighing up to 50 pounds and should be comfortable picking up and bagging grocery-size produce bags.
Volunteers should wear a Second Helpings shirt and weather-appropriate clothing.
