SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Food Bank of El Dorado County, with a matching contribution from the Marcella Foundation, will be offering a free drive-thru Farmer’s Market food distribution on Thursday, July 10, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Fresh seasonal produce and non-perishable food items will be distributed.
This free food event will be held at the St. Theresa Church parking lot, 1041 Lyons Avenue, South Lake Tahoe. Volunteers from Bread & Broth and the Family Resource Center will be helping at the truck alongside the Food Bank.
Last month, over 100 cars, walkers, and bicyclists went through the parking lot to receive food, and the Food Bank expects more this month.
In the past, the El Dorado Food Bank has provided this food outreach program each month during the summer. With recent funding cuts, the program cannot continue without private or organizational contributions.
Those interested in contributing to the continuation of the Farmers Market later in the summer, donations can be sent to:
1) By check: Food Bank of El Dorado County, 4550 Business Drive, Cameron Park, Calif. 95682 (mention that the money is to go to the South Lake Tahoe Farmer’s Market)
2) By credit card: Visit foodbankedc.org. “Ways to Give-Monetary Donations”
