Volunteers will direct vehicles at the drive-thru. The CTFB asks drivers to stay in their vehicles.
The drive comes one month after the CTFB presented the results of its Community Needs Assessment of food insecurity in the county.
“Our Community Needs Assessment data revealed that there were limited distribution sites within Gillespie County. We increased our mobile distributions from one to two locations to increase food access,” stated a CTFB spokesperson.
