Orchard Hill Church, 120 Walker Ave., had its 13th drive-through food distribution Saturday, Jan. 28, in the church’s parking lot.

The church started its food distribution, held on the last Saturday of every month, in January 2022.

Church member Dean Santamaria said the church averages 40 to 60 cars per event, but the effect is much larger.

“Some people are collecting for two or three families, so they are taking food for others. It affects 200 to 250 people,” he said.

He said the church distributed 100 boxes of dry goods — beans, pasta and more — and 100 boxes of seasonal produce — onions, potatoes, carrots, apples and oranges. Each car gets a box of each.
