TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – The Green Acres Baptist Church (GABC) in Tyler will be hosting a special mobile pantry event during Thanksgiving week in partnership with the East Texas Food Bank (ETFB).
The “Feed Our Friends” distribution event on Nov. 24 will help provide food assistance to East Texas families before Thanksgiving.
“The ETFB has teamed up again this year with GABC to offer a 25-pound box of non-perishable items along with frozen meat and produce,” CEO of the ETFB David Emerson said. “Many people face food insecurity year-round, and we want to ensure East Texans have meals they can count on during the holidays.”
Organizers anticipate serving around 1,200 families with each vehicle being able to pick up food for up to two households.
The event, located at 1607 Troup Highway, will be from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., or until supplies run out.
People are asked to not arrive before the parking lot opens at 7 a.m.
