A couple of local food distribution events are planned for this weekend.
A distribution is planned for Saturday in neighboring Lawrence County beginning at 8:30 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 frozen meat, eggs, a variety of fresh produce and nutritious shelf-stable groceries into the vehicles of families in need.
Also Saturday at 2 p.m. Christ’s Family Church in Chicora outreach project Manna From Heaven will give away free food in the parking lot on West Slippery Rock Street. Boxes containing meat, eggs, produce, and milk will be distributed to those who meet food assistance program guidelines until everything is gone.
There will also be another distribution Saturday at the Orchard Hill Church on Butler’s South Side neighborhood. Organizers say all in need are welcome and no registrations are required. Orchard Hill Church volunteers will distribute pantry items and fresh seasonal produce.
