First Presbyterian Church will provide a free meal and bag of groceries to food-insecure guests who drive by the church between 5:30 and 6 p.m. Thursday, June 10, a press release said.

The church’s monthly “Welcome Table” community meal program plans to supply each guest with a hot meal consisting of taco soup, Fritos chips, fresh fruit. and brownies or cookies, the press release said.

In addition, a bag of groceries with the ingredients for a family meal at home will be delivered to each car, the release said.

Guests should drive through the church parking lot to the sanctuary building (1051 Oak Ridge Turnpike) at the intersection of the Turnpike and Lafayette Drive to collect the foods donated by church members or paid for by the church’s hunger fund. Church volunteers wearing masks will deliver the hot meal and groceries to guests in their cars.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
