Frozen meat will be given away Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church in Powell.

The church is distributing roughly 21,000 pounds of different types of USDA meat in a drive-thru format. The church is located at 777 E. Seventh St. in Powell, across from the Park County Fairgrounds.

The give-away is open to all, with no sign-up required. It will be first come, first served, and there is a limit of one 20-pound box per household.

“I really want to help some needy people,” said Pastor Mike Walsh, who’s been working to get the word out to the community.

Walsh said there is twice as much meat as originally expected: 1,000 cases, with each case including 20 pounds of meat.

The give-away had been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, but was rescheduled for Tuesday morning.

“Our truck has come to Powell way earlier than expected,” Walsh posted Sunday.

People are encouraged to access the church’s Seventh Street parking lot from the east, coming from Powell High School. Crews will be slurry sealing the road from Gilbert Street to Northwest College, so the road will be closed to traffic. The Powell Police Department will help with traffic and distribution.

Rick and Colleen Johnson donated a truck, driver and fuel for the refrigerated truck transport from Billings, and Big Horn Co-op is providing a forklift and driver.

The free distribution is hosted by Glad Tidings Church and Convoy of Hope, a faith-based, nonprofit organization that seeks to feed the world through children’s feeding initiatives, community outreach and disaster response. The Springfield, Missouri-based organization says it has delivered more than 50 million meals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
