Volunteers Mark Abernathy and Kevin Howe help distribute food March 12 to families during the East Texas Food Bank drive-thru food event at the Longview Fairgrounds.

The East Texas Food Bank has scheduled another drive-thru food distribution starting at 8 a.m. Friday at the Longview Fairgrounds.

Vehicles will need to enter from 300 W. Cotton St. and follow the route and traffic control directions.

There are no eligibility requirements or identification needed, and multiple households can ride together.

To pick up food boxes for someone else, a hand-written note from that person with name, address, permission for you to make the pickup and the person’s signature must be provided, according to food bank officials. The note or a photo of it will be accepted.
