December Mobile Pantry Aims to Support East Texas Families
The East Texas Food Bank (ETFB) will host a special mobile pantry event on Monday, December 1, at the Angelina County Expo Center in Lufkin, sponsored by Mike Love and Associates, to provide additional food assistance to local families during the holiday season.
“The ETFB will offer a 25-pound box of non-perishable items along with frozen meat and produce,” said David Emerson, CEO of the ETFB. “Because so many people experience food insecurity year-round, we’re working to make sure East Texans have the meals they need this holiday season.”
Each vehicle may pick up food for up to two households, and organizers anticipate serving approximately 1,200 families.
The distribution will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until supplies run out. Angelina County Expo Center is located at 1200 Ellen Trout Drive in Lufkin. The parking lot will open at 9 a.m. so please don’t arrive sooner than that time.
Volunteers are also needed to help with the distribution. If you are interested, please visit EastTexasFoodBank.org and click on volunteer.
