JEFFERSON COUNTY, Tenn. — More than 200 families were given food Saturday morning at Jefferson City Middle School when the Mobile Lifehouse food pantry stopped by at around 8 a.m.
Aug. 22 was the 21st month in a row that the pantry has been operation, according to officials. Volunteers handed out boxes and bags filled with supplies to help families across several different counties.
It was a drive-through event, so families did not need to leave their cars to receive food. Instead, volunteers brought food directly to them while they were parked. People could also drop off donations during the event on Saturday.
Anyone who wants to support the Mobile Lifehouse can donate online for specific funds, or make a one-time general donation.
