Food distribution scheduled for Friday at Brownsville Event Center

United Against Hunger, a local campaign to provide meals and emergency food for families in need, will hold another mass food distribution at the Brownsville Event Center Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Additional distribution dates and sites will be announced soon, in response to heightened community need during the coronavirus pandemic.

The site will distribute non-perishable food supplies—canned food, etc. and abide by the following guidelines:

>>Two family members maximum per vehicle

>>Must bring a photo ID

>>Must wear a mask to receive donations

>>All donations will be placed in the trunk of the car; the trunk must be clear of any items.

These guidelines are put in place not only for the safety of the volunteers and staff but for the community as well.

A donation portal is open for individuals able and willing to donate to the cause. Every dollar will go towards food, supplies, and labor for the campaign.
