Feed the Boro plans to distribute free groceries for 1,000 families Saturday, Nov. 14, at Statesboro High School. Anyone in Bulloch County who needs food may participate. The school is at 10 Coach Lee Hill Boulevard.
Distribution starts at 8 a.m. and is scheduled to end at 10 a.m., unless food runs out earlier. Organizers describe the available food as enough to provide a family of four with two meals a day for a week.
Participants should arrive with car trunks open and cleared. For SUVs, the rear area should be accessible and free of belongings. Volunteers will not move items inside vehicles, and the amount of food placed in a vehicle may be limited if there is not enough room. Cars will move slowly through the food stations without stopping.
Feed the Boro holds its food drops in partnership with Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia. Food Lion Feeds, The Islands and J.Grifols Freedom Plasma Donation Centers are listed as making this distribution possible.
Volunteers are asked to arrive by 7:45 a.m. for a safety briefing. Parking is across Coach Lee Hill Boulevard at the Big Lots parking lot. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes.
