Williams Neighborhood Distribution Join us on the fourth Thursday of every month from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Bethany Fellowship (106 S 9th Street, Williams, AZ 86046) as we distribute fresh food and essential groceries to families and individuals in the Williams community. Volunteers help set up and organize distribution tables, welcome guests, hand out produce and pantry staples, and ensure everyone feels supported and respected. This community-focused event is hands-on and rewarding—perfect for anyone who wants to make a direct difference and connect with neighbors in need. Whether you’re organizing supplies, distributing food, or offering a friendly greeting, your efforts help put nutritious meals on the tables of those who need them most. Be part of a caring team and help fight hunger in Williams—one Thursday, and one family, at a time!
