Oakwood Church in Becker, in partnership with Big Lake Food Shelf, has conducted a monthly food drive at 12900 1st St. in Becker. 

This event takes place on the first Wednesday of each month and has been ongoing since last October. Over the past 11 months, Oakwood volunteers have distributed more than 100,000 pounds of produce, milk, bread, canned goods, cereal, and other items to help families meet their food requirements. 

There are no requirements and no questions asked. If one is able, bring a wagon. If one cannot, Oakwood has wagons and carts and volunteers are ready to assist all with getting one’s selected items to one’s car. 

Give away begins at 10:30 a.m. and runs until noon or until food is gone. Line generally starts to form an hour before the event.
