Food Program

Westlynn Food Program exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus. It is for those in our community who can benefit from bi-weekly food donations.

​

Westlynn Food Program is a food distribution site operating under the umbrella of Immigrant Link Center Society. The Immigrant Link Center Society was established in 2016 and started the "Win-Win Project" that distributes perishable surplus foods that are still viable from partnering grocery stores (that would otherwise have been thrown out, adding to landfill waste) free of charge. Food donations include vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, deli products, breads, and bakery goods which are then sorted into boxes by volunteers according to family size and requests. This program is for those that receive government/income assistance, RAP benefits, fall within below the low income cut-off (LICO) guidelines, or have other extenuating circumstances.

​

Clients must register to be part of the program. The program has a maximum capacity of 50 clients at any given time. Volunteers serve at the church every other Thursday from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. Their responsibilities include unloading boxes of food from a delivery truck, sorting food into individual boxes for each family that receives food, distributing boxes to the clients, tearing down boxes for recycling, and cleaning up the space at the end of the day.
