LUFKIN, Texas (KETK) – The East Texas Food Bank will be giving away 25-pound boxes of food at a special mobile food pantry event in Lufkin on Monday.
East Texas Food Bank prepares for shutdown’s lasting impact
Thanks to Mike Love and Associates, the food bank will be providing extra food assistance for local families during the holidays. Monday’s event will be held at the Angelina County Expo Center at 1200 Ellen Trout Drive in Lufkin and will start at 11 a.m. and end at 2 p.m.
“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 that drives up to the mobile pantry will be allowed to take food boxes for two households. Organizers said the event will still be held even if it rains on Monday.
