The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in Fannin County’s food drive is in full swing, according to North Texas e-News.
The event is slated to go until June 5, providing food to nearby pantries. It’s taking place at Derrell Hall Education Center at 2505 N. Center St. in Bonham.
The food drive comes as Texas food banks account for helping 88% more people this year than at this time last year. Food banks have stepped in amid a new report from Feeding Texas that showed donations are lower this year due to the economic reality of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those looking to donate can drop off non-perishable food items at the Derrell Hall Education Center on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Workers will take steps to make sure the food is provided to those in the community.
Questions on the food bank's operation can be answered by calling 903-583-7453.
