Coffee County Schools & Manchester City Schools Partner to Host Drive-Thru Mobile Food Pantry for Families.
Local April 11, 2020 Daniel Prince
Coffee County Schools and Manchester City Schools are partnering together to host a Drive-Thru Mobile Food Pantry on Friday, April 17th at Coffee County Middle School.
A Mobile Food Pantry is a large scale food distribution in which food items are delivered via Second Harvest Food Bank to a designated location for immediate distribution to those in need.
“During this unprecedented time, we understand hardships and challenges could potentially be bestowed on our families. We want to provide support and aid during times of uncertainty. As a community, we will get through this together,” said Taylor Rayfield, Coordinator of Family Resource Center for Coffee County Schools.
Unlike previous Mobile Food Pantries that the districts have hosted, there are operational, time, and location changes for the upcoming opportunity.
Location Change: Coffee County Middle School 3063 Woodbury Highway Manchester, TN 37355
Drive-Thru: We will operate on a drive-thru model to reduce contact. Food boxes will be assembled and disbursed to the trunks of vehicles. Guests will not exit their vehicle for any reason.
Start Time: Drive-Thru opens at 10 AM.
