Enjoy breakfast Saturday morning while helping other Davie residents having trouble putting food on the table for their families.

First Presbyterian Chuch, 261 S. Main St., Mocksville, is hosting the breakfast from 7:30-10 a.m., with proceeds going to Serving Our Neighbors (SON).

Donations will be accepted at the breakfast, which will include bacon, sausage, ham, apples, eggs, grits, biscuits, gravies and beverages.

“SON exists to bring free food to those who find themselves struggling to make ends meet,” said volunteer, Sue Boggs. “Many of the folks who come are working full-time jobs, but still, it is not enough.”

SON has a refrigerated trailer and a network of more than 60 volunteers who help collect and distribute the food.

“We are able to collect food from grocery stores and a produce house, then distribute this fresh and frozen food to our neighbors,” she said.

The food would normally be thrown away.

So far this year, SON has served residents more than 13,000 times.

Distribution sites for the free food are:

• The Bridge on Main Street, Cooleemee, 197 Main St., Thursdays 5:5:30 p.m.;

• Oak Grove United Methodist Church, 1994 UIS 158, Mocksville, Sundays from 3:30 p.m.; and

• Hillsdale Church, 5018 US 158, Advance, at 6 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month.
