Aside from that, every Friday, they have Friday food distribution. From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The group has a large-scale food distribution that gives different kinds of healthy food. The website noted that they welcome everyone but would need a membership card from Bridge of Hope would make for them.

They informed those interested that they would need to present the card every time they received food. The website added that these cards would have a schedule for them to come any Friday. They noted that having a schedule would keep them from waiting a long time.
