The first food giveaway, round one if you will, on December 26 being a success, Mt. Moriah A.M.E. Zion Church now moves on to round two. Round two will happen Wednesday, December 30th starting at 9 a.m. at the church located at 5448 Highway 158 Business, Henderson, NC 27537.
Mt. Moriah A.M.E. Zion Church is partnering with Livingstone College and the NC Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health to fight food insecurities in Henderson, Vance County, NC and surrounding areas.
In a scheduled event Dec 26, Rev. Linda T. Bristow, assistant to the pastor, told WIZS News the church and its partners were able give away more than 150 food boxes to try to make a dent in the fight against food insecurities in our area. She said, “People were in line at 8:30 a.m. and continued steadily throughout the morning. Unfortunately, people were still coming after we had given out all our supplies.
“Our next food giveaway will be Wednesday, December 30 beginning at 9 a.m. We’ll be giving away three hundred (300), forty (40) pound cases of fresh chicken, drumsticks, bone-in thighs and boneless breasts, she said.”
The event is free and open to anyone experiencing food insecurities. Additional giveaways are being planned.
