A few things to keep in mind:

• The first time you pick up food you must either bring your children or show a family photo of your children. You will then receive a car tag to keep for every time you pick up for the summer that will have listed on it the number of children you have so each child receives a food bag.

• Please do not try to pick up early.

• we will pass out meals until they are gone. If no-one is outside, it means we ran out for the day.

• Sometimes the bags can be a little heavy. If your teen or child is walking to the church and needs to pick up for their siblings, please be sure to send them with a wagon or another way to get the bags home. Some days they can be a little heavy!

• If we run out, we will try to make a post on our Facebook page as quickly as possible.

• All food meets USDA summer meals program requirements and is distributed at 5 different sites in Marion County by Knoxville Youth Food Initiative.

• If you have ANY questions or need to talk to us about this procedure, you can email us at info@pvilleyi.org
