 Клиентам не разрешается парковаться и ждать на нашей стоянке или любой из парковок наших соседних предприятий. Если будет установлено, что вы это делаете, вас попросят уйти без раздачи и попросят вернуться на следующий день раздачи. Клиентам НЕ разрешается ждать на проспекте Сан-Хуан. Полосы движения предназначены для движущихся автомобилей. Если вас остановили на любой из полос движения на проспекте Сан-Хуан, полиция Цитрус-Хайтс вынесла вам предписание о нарушении правил дорожного движения.
 
The Sunrise Christian Food Ministry distributes a variety of fresh and canned food per household based on the donations we receive daily. We have moved away from our number system of identifying clients by household size and will now only give a number to represent the total number of households currently in the car, picking up a distribution (this includes proxies).
  
Христианское продовольственное служение Sunrise распределяет различные свежие и консервированные продукты на семью на основе пожертвований, которые мы получаем ежедневно. Мы отошли от нашей системы нумерации клиентов по размеру домохозяйства и теперь будем давать только число, представляющее общее количество домохозяйств, которые в настоящее время находятся в машине, выбирая распределение (включая прокси). 
  
Please feel free to ask any volunteer for additional information on how our new distribution model works. It is our goal be able to serve more households each day and limit the number of cars we turn away due to reaching our maximum capacity. If you are struggling to find a time to visit our food closet please call or visit 211 and the Sacramento County Food Bank website to see a list of participating food agencies in the county. Our food closet is one of many in Sacramento County that have a variety of days and times available to meet the needs of people with lots of different schedules.
We understand that visiting our food closet can be a time consuming and frustrating experience.  Many of our neighbors and friends are experiencing food insecuirty which is creating  an all time high of people seeking assistance. One way that you can help with this need is to join us and volunteer.  Please visit the Volunteer Opportunities tab for more information.  It take many willing hearts and hands to process and distribute the million + pounds of food to our community each year.  Reach out if you have any questions or suggestions on improving our distribution.  scfmoffice123@gmail.com
