WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency is hosting a food giveaway for Wilson County residents on Saturday, July 6.
It's from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at MCCAA — 104 Webster Street in Lebanon.
The giveaway is for low-income families, and you don't have to bring anything but yourself! All you have to do is fill out a few forms when you get there and list your approximate monthly income.
The giveaway includes 7 different food items — apple juice bottles, bags of walnuts, cans of beef, potatoes, green beans, and peanut butter — all non-perishable.
They are hoping to give away all 8 pallets of food, so come one, come all!
The Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency serves 7 different Tennessee Counties and is able to do their food giveaways through a grant they receive. Each county has a free food giveaway quarterly, with a host of volunteers on site to make sure it goes smoothly.
If you are wondering where a food giveaway near you may be, you can look in their calendar online.
Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
