WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency is hosting a food giveaway for Wilson County residents on Saturday, July 6.
It's from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at MCCAA — 104 Webster Street in Lebanon.
The giveaway is for low-income families, and you don't have to bring anything but yourself! All you have to do is fill out a few forms when you get there and list your approximate monthly income.
The giveaway includes 7 different food items — apple juice bottles, bags of walnuts, cans of beef, potatoes, green beans, and peanut butter — all non-perishable.
They are hoping to give away all 8 pallets of food, so come one, come all!
The Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency serves 7 different Tennessee Counties and is able to do their food giveaways through a grant they receive. Each county has a free food giveaway quarterly, with a host of volunteers on site to make sure it goes smoothly.
If you are wondering where a food giveaway near you may be, you can look in their calendar online.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
