The Foodbank is hosting a mass food distribution for residents needing food assistance. This free distribution will run from 10 a.m.-noon today at the Dixie Twin Drive-In Theater, 6201 N. Dixie Drive, Harrison Twp. CareSource is sponsoring the event and CareSource employees will volunteer their time to pass out food.

New to this year’s series of distributions is the inclusion of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio, which will be giving out children’s books. SICSA Pet Adoption and Wellness Center will participate again this year by passing out pet food, and Premier Health will bring their mobile clinic to provide free and optional biometric readings. CareSource will also distribute toothbrushes.

Pre-registration is not required for this event. The Foodbank asks that clients arrive no earlier than 9 a.m. for set up and safety purposes. Since this is a drive-thru style distribution, it is also recommended to have plenty of space in the trunk or backseat for food to be placed.

Only cars driving south on Dixie Drive will be permitted to enter the lot, police will be on-site to assist with traffic flow and will re-direct any northbound traffic attempting to enter the lot to enter from the southbound entrance.

Residents unable to attend this distribution can access the Foodbank’s pantry locator tool and other resources on the website, thefoodbankdayton.org.
