Car Show Serves a Greater Purpose

By Phil Shahbaz, Pastor of Community Life 

The Second Annual LBF Car Show on Sunday, July 21, from 12:30-5:30 p.m., will not only serve to bring the community together this year, but will also assist the GAP Food Bank in providing for needy families in our community.

The GAP started in the early ‘90s by distributing food out of a garage to local families. Almost 20 years later, the GAP is located in a 4,500-square-foot warehouse in Rancho Cucamonga, equipped with a truck for large donation pick-ups, a forklift, and walk-in freezer and refrigerator.

GAP’s immediate goal is to increase the number of families fed to 500 or more by continuing to feed them at their facility, as well as expanding the amount of food provided to other food banks, senior centers, and churches. Since their primary source of revenue is free-will donations from local churches, businesses, and individuals, we’d like to contribute and help them meet their goal.

So this year, as you get ready to head over to the Car Show with your lawn chairs and picnic blankets, bring along a canned good or two to donate to GAP Food Bank. Then your family can enjoy the live band, bounce houses, petting zoo, and an assortment of fun activities and vendors. Panera Bread will be providing all of the food, dessert, and drinks, and 10% of their sales at the event will go toward GAP Food Bank.

The Second Annual LBF Car Show will feature all makes and models of classics, customs, hot rods, muscle cars, choppers, imports, and antiques! If you have a car, truck, or motorcycle that you would like to enter in the show, please register online at lbfchurch.com. Trophies will be awarded in several categories. Registration fee is $20 per car and $15 per motorcycle.
