A couple of local food distribution events are planned for this weekend.
Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. in Chicora at the Christ’s Family Church parking lot on West Slippery Rock Street boxes containing fresh produce, dry goods, and other food will be distributed.
Another distribution is also planned for Saturday in neighboring Lawrence County beginning at 9 a.m. at The Towne Mall Cascade Galleria Plaza in New Castle.
Volunteers will load boxes of fresh milk provided by Marburger Dairy, as well as assorted fresh produce and nutritious shelf-stable groceries into the vehicles of families in need. Organizers hope to distribute food to up to 1,500 families on a first come, first served basis.
