AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- As the coronavirus pandemic continues, the Central Texas Food Bank has announced its planned distribution events for February for those in our community facing increased food insecurity.

At these special food distributions, attendees will receive an assortment of food items which will vary, depending on available supplies. While these events are primarily designed as drive-through distributions, no one in need of food will be turned away.

Recipients who are driving through are requested to make appropriate space in their trunk or hatch. Those arriving via public transportation or on foot should look for the designated walk-up area. Recipients without vehicles are urged to bring containers in which they can carry the food, as it will be in boxes that may be difficult to carry.

The Food Bank is seeking volunteers to help with these events, as well as sorting food at the warehouse. Anyone interested in volunteering to support the Food Bank at this critical time should visit the Food Bank’s website at www.CentralTexasFoodBank.org and click on “Volunteer” to sign up.
