International hunger relief organization Feed The Children will distribute a semi tractor-trailer full of food items to the Midwest Food Bank (1703 S Veterans Parkway).

Midwest Food Bank is a partner agency of Feed The Children and has pre-identified the 400 recipient families. The boxes are designed to help a family for up to one week.

“We are excited to be able to partner with Midwest Food Bank at such a critical time,” said Feed The Children spokesman Tony Sellars. “These families will hopefully have a happier holiday thanks to the help that will be provided.”
