WACO, TX â There are just seven days left to donate to the 25 News Feed the Need drive, which is dedicated to making sure food pantries across Central Texas have the resources they need to keep community members from going hungry.
25 News has partnered with seven food pantries from across Central Texas: Shepherdâs Heart, The Salvation Army, Caritas, Operation Feeding Temple, Killeen Food Care Center, Helping Hands Ministry in Belton and the Brazos Valley Food Bank.
The Killeen Food Care Center is receiving around 2,000 pounds of canned food as part of a partnership with Freedom Country, a car dealership in Killeen, and the Killeen Rodeo.
The recent Killeen Rodeo took place last Thursday, Friday and Saturday and residents were able to bring four cans of food to the rodeo or to Freedom Country to get a free ticket to the rodeo.
Mike Adamson, one of the Killeen Rodeo board members, said the rodeo had the largest audience itâs had that he can remember, and it showed in the amount of food that was donated.
Raymond Cockrell, the executive director of the Killeen Food Care Center, estimated the amount of food to be close to 2,000 pounds and said it is definitely more than he was expecting.
The food center distributed over 50,000 pounds of groceries during this drive-thru event. Author: 6 News Digital (6News) Published: 3:42 PM CDT May 15, 2021 Updated: 3:42 PM CDT May 15, 2021
