What began as an effort to help Butler families struggling to buy food during the coronavirus pandemic has become a mission to not only feed, but spiritually fortify those families.

Volunteers at Orchard Hill Church’s Butler campus marked the second anniversary of a food distribution held on the last Saturday of each month. The distribution is in the parking lot across from the church at the intersection of Walker and Brugh avenues in Butler.

Cars were waved into the parking lot at the food distribution entrance and traversed a large horseshoe, where they stopped at various stations before driving away with bags of shelf-stable food and produce.

The Rev. Brady Randall, pastor at Orchard Hill’s Butler campus, said the food distribution began in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
