Pallets holding oversized boxes of food are lined up in the parking lot at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Lakewood on a 26-degree February morning. Nearly a dozen cars wait in parking spots. More drive in every couple of minutes.
One by one, volunteers call them forward—numbered, orange sticky notes are placed on their windshields as they arrive to keep things orderly—and load cartons full of bread, canned goods, frozen chicken, apples, potatoes and other food into open trunks before moving on to the next vehicle.
