The Foodbank Inc. will be giving out fresh produce, grains and more today during a food distribution at the Dixie Twin Drive-In for North Dayton and surrounding area residents.

The drive-thru distribution is from 1 to 3 p.m. at 6201 N. Dixie Drive in Harrison Twp. Do not arrive before noon, but do leave space in the trunk or back seat of vehicles for food.

The event aims to help residents who are struggling with food insecurity.

“The north Dayton area was heavily impacted by the 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes and continues to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Michelle L. Riley, CEO of The Foodbank. “We are grateful to be partnering with CareSource to address the higher rate of food insecurity in the North Dayton area, and ultimately offer families much needed support.”

The Foodbank is hosting series of food distribution events for the rest of the year in areas with higher rates of food insecurity. They are in addition to the mobile pantry program that distributes food each month in Montgomery, Greene and Preble counties.

Anyone with questions can call The Foodbank at 937-461-0265.
