- Description: The Food Distribution is held the second Thursday of every month at Andromeda Transcultural Health. The food that is delivered varies from lettuce, cabbage, watermelon, sweet potatoes, potatoes, milk, cheese, bread, salads and pastries. People can begin lining up outside starting at 9 am or earlier and they must bring bags to carry the food once they receive it. Once everyone is in line, every person is given a number and asked for basic information such as their name, address, phone number and how many persons are in their family. The food can arrive as early as 8am and as late as 11am. Once the food has arrived it is set up and groups of five are let in to receive food. Once everyone in line has gone inside and received food there is a second round for people that want more food for their families. There are a few regulations that everyone must follow which are you must have a number to enter, you cannot cut in line and you must respect all staff members
