Fresh Produce for Alamo: A Community Initiative
In an inspiring move to support the local community, the Food Bank of Grand Valley is set to host a fruit and vegetable pop-up event in Alamo. This initiative aims to provide fresh produce to residents, ensuring that families have access to nutritious food options. The event is scheduled for today at the Alamo Advancement Center from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM or until supplies last.
Drive-Thru Distribution: A Safe and Convenient Option
The event is designed as a drive-thru distribution, allowing attendees to collect their produce with ease and minimal contact. In a bid to serve as many families as possible, organizers have set a limit of two families per vehicle. This measure is intended to ensure that the food distribution reaches a broader segment of the community.
