Since the coronavirus pandemic began affecting the Austin community, the Central Texas Food Bank has held free drive-thru food distribution events to help feed residents in need.

The events will continue in July with four events, including two at Nelson Field in Northeast Austin. Families arriving in cars will be able to receive one box of produce, 1-2 gallons of milk, an 8- to 20-pound box containing chicken or pork products, and a box of shelf-stable items, as available.

The food bank is seeking volunteers for the events, which will take place from 8-11 a.m. Anyone interested can sign up at the Central Texas Food Bank website.
