Lake City-based Hunger Intervention Program works to bring food to local families through its Healthy HIP Packs Program, free summer meals for kids, and by advocating for hungry families.

HIP took a late summer vacation and is returning at the end of September to kick off our Healthy HIP Packs Program.  This year, we will be providing weekend food packs to 120 children!  Here is how you can get involved:

• Monday & Friday morning Prep teams will be back the week of September 23rd helping to package foods for our Healthy HIP Packs program.  If you are interested in joining us, please stop by Lake City Presbyterian Church between 9 and 11 am Monday and Friday mornings. 

• Monthly Packing Parties will start up in October.  Our first will be Thursday, October 10th 3-5 pm here at HIP/Lake City Presbyterian.  This is a fun, fast-paced volunteer project for all ages!  Come help assemble our Healthy HIP Packs, which provide local children at risk of hunger with food to take home each weekend.

• In mid-October, HIP will be piloting a new weekly senior lunch at the Lake City Community Center.  We’ll be looking for volunteers to help with cooking, outreach, and service at the site.  If you are interested in learning more about this program, please email Kate.

The best way to stay up to date on what is new with HIP is to make sure you are on our newsletter email list.  You can join here!
