Current Need: Purchase of food gift cards for Christmas.

Epworth's Ana A Brito Foundation sustains an ongoing food distribution program for food-insecure families referred by community partners. We collaborate and share resources with Manna, Gaithersburg Community Soup Kitchen (The Lord's Table), Gaithersburg Beloved Community (out of Asbury Methodist Village), and Epworth United Methodist Church to make this possible. We distribute food to 130+ families twice per month. Food is picked up in boxes at Epworth UMC, distributed at the Cider Mill Apartment Complex by the Safe Spaces Resident Association, or delivered to homes directly for people who are unable to receive our food at our pick-up locations. In addition to food, special items and - when funds allow - grocery gift cards are added to food boxes distributed around the holidays - particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas. Your contribution will supplement our boxes when protein products are not available from our suppliers. Your gift will also allow us to purchase gift cards at Thanksgiving or Christmas to supplement main dishes with other foods.
