Food will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis. Because the distribution will continue only while supplies remain available, residents planning to participate may want to arrive close to the 9 a.m. start time.

The community food drive is being promoted with a straightforward message: “No person goes hungry — no food goes to waste.” Organizers are encouraging residents to drive up, pick up groceries and take advantage of the free distribution.
