Huge Food Box Giveaway Event Planned Tomorrow in Tri-Cities & Prosser
Once again 2nd Harvest, Ben Franklin Transit, and the Toyota Center and all the volunteers are stepping up to get food to those in need in and around the Tri-Cities and even Prosser. Many families are impacted by the pandemic as our state has been locked down since mid-March here's what you need to know spread the word if you know someone in need..
In conjunction with the Second Harvest Tri-Cities Mobile Market drive-thru event being held at the Toyota Center, BFT will be holding FOUR food distribution events just for transit riders at our transit centers in Tri-Cities and Prosser on the same day.
--------------------------------------
FOOD DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS:
Date: Thursday, June 18
Time: 11am (while supplies last)
