**** EXTREME HEAT CHANGE: Due to extreme heat, we will be holding a small distribution indoors. Please do not arrive before 1pm as we will not be doing numbers. Come into the food shelf after 1pm, and you will receive up to 4 bags of produce. There may be a line outside, but we will encourage people to wait in their cars until the line is short. While supplies last. *****

🥕🍅 Summer means fresh produce season!

Join CAPI for our biweekly Fresh Produce Distributions at our food shelf parking lot (6064 Shingle Creek Parkway). Community members are invited to receive a cart full of fresh, nutritious produce at no cost.

Distribution: 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Numbers are handed out beginning at 12:30 p.m.

While distributions are typically held outdoors, severe weather conditions—such as extreme heat or rain—may require us to switch to a drive-through format. If that happens, just follow the directions from our volunteers when you arrive.

Help us spread the word so more families can access fresh, healthy food this summer. We hope to see you there!
