Do’s:

Park within parking spots.

Take your medications, eat, and drink plenty of fluids before standing in line, particularly on hot days.

We try to present only the best quality items. You are free to refuse items that don’t meet your standards.

If you have difficulty standing or being in the sun, please have someone else pick up for you.

Dont’s:

Absolutely no line jumping saving spots for other clients, holding spots with bags, carts, rocks, etc. Anyone caught doing so will be asked to go to the end of the line.

Do not arrive more than 30 minutes before distribution.

Smoking is prohibited in line! If you must smoke, please step away from the clients and volunteers.

No pets in the distribution line, please. Service animals specifically trained to aid a person with disabilities are welcome.

For vehicles representing multiple households, a keycard will need to be scanned for each household. Each individual household you pick-up for must register separately and provide you with their keycard.

Each vehicle can pick up for a maximum of four (4) households.

Please have your trunk or tailgate cleared so that food may be placed in safely and efficiently.

Food will be placed directly into the trunk of the vehicle. Driver’s windows must be down. If you are unable to open your trunk or if it is not cleared, you will be asked to load your food independently.

To minimize traffic and waiting times, please do not show up more than 30 minutes before the distribution start time. If arriving prior to start time, BCOC is not responsible for maintaining line spots. In Warminster Community Park, park attendees have the right of way. Please do not block any pedestrian walkways or bike paths.

Fresh Connect and the distribution organizers reserve the right to refuse service to individuals who do not comply with the rules and regulations established for each drive-thru food distribution.

Examples of severe weather include days when actual temperatures are below 32 degrees or when the temperatures feel like they are below 32 degrees; when heat advisories or excessive heat warnings have been issued; during periods of heavy rain or snow; during thunder and lightning storms.
