HandsOn Kansas State, in conjunction with Harvesters Community Food Network of Topeka, will host three mobile food distributions during the Fall 2021 semester. The events start at 4 p.m. in parking lot C-1 of the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.
- Friday, Sept. 10
- Friday, Oct. 8
- Friday, Nov. 12
The mobile food distribution is open to all members of the K-State and Manhattan community with fresh fruits and vegetables offered at no cost, while supplies last.
Individuals who do not have a vehicle may walk over to pick up food. However, transportation back to their home will not be provided.
Due to construction in the area, we have worked with K-State Police Department to determine this recommended driving route: Take Marlatt Avenue west to College Avenue, then drive south on College Avenue to Kimball Avenue, and then east on Kimball Avenue to turn into the C-1 lot entrance.
Below are friendly reminders to help the event run smoothly and efficiently
- The C-1 lot will open at 3:30 p.m.
- Vehicles enter the pickup line driving eastbound on Kimball Avenue to parking lot C-1 and exit through the C-2 lot on to Denison.
- Volunteers will be posted to ensure vehicles enter and exit through the correct locations. A map is available below.
- Participants should plan to help open vehicle doors as needed.
