October Announcement
Attention All Produce to the People and Food Pantry Recipients and Volunteers! We have an important date change for the month of October. The October 2025 Produce to the People Distribution will be held on the 2nd Saturday of October, which is Saturday, October 11th from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, and NOT on the 3rd Saturday of October.
If you're interested in volunteering this month, please click HERE or scan the QR-code below to complete the Volunteer Registration Form prior to the distribution. We will cap the number of volunteers at 35 people so we can more efficiently manage the volunteer assignments that are given out on the day of the Distribution. Thank you in advance for your understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the Olivet Housing and Community Development Corporation at 216-862-7350 or email outreach@oibc.org.
