City to co-host food distribution event next weekend

The Central Texas Food Bank in partnership with the City of Kyle and Texas Disposal Systems will be hosting a mass food distribution April 24 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Austin Community College Hays Campus, 1200 Kohlers Crossing. 

Central Texas residents can drive to this event to receive a box of assorted produce, milk, and a protein box. 

“Actual contents may vary depending on availability,” a City spokesperson said in announcing the event. “All are welcome and no registration is required.”

Volunteers will place food in the trunks of vehicles as they are driven through the distribution site. The food bank is asking that each household only send one person to the event, and that all attendees come in vehicles — there will be no walk-up distribution — to adhere to social distancing requirements.      

“We're all working hard to push through the rest of this pandemic and many of us have needed a little extra help,” council member Robert Rizo said in the city’s announcement. “But we are incredibly thankful to the Central Texas Food Bank for continuously providing that extra help to our community with these food distributions.”
