ETFB starts Farmers-Market style produce distributions Friday

TYLER — The East Texas Food Bank has set a restart for its farmers-market style produce distributions. ETFB’s Lauren Barnes told KTBB, “The give-a-ways will start on Friday, and we will continue those distributions the first and third Friday of every month, with the exception of July 3rd for the holiday, from 10 to 12 as well.” The allotments are given out on a first-come first-served basis.

Barnes specified, “There is no intake questions, no eligibility requirements, no ID’s or anything. The biggest thing to note is that this one is different because it is not a drive thru distribution. It is still at the East Texas Fair Grounds, you will park right in front of Harvey Hall, and then it’s on the West Side so it’s kind of where those AG buildings are. You will get a number and get in line and you will get those free produce items.”
