MCALLEN, TX – Nov 7, 2017 – An act of kindness brought to life is exactly what the Food Bank RGV, One Stop Shop and Bert Ogden are doing this Thanksgiving in their Annual Fully Loaded Foodgiving Drive. The primary goal of the Fully-Loaded Foodgiving Drive is to help feed RGV families and children in need.
All 18 Bert Ogden locations and all three One Stop Shop facilities have opened their doors to receive nonperishable food donations in order to fully load at least one vehicle per location. The food donations received will then be donated directly to the Food Bank of the RGV on November 20th, 2017.
According to the Food Bank of the RGV, one out of four children in the Rio Grande Valley are food insecure and in some areas that ratio can reach one to two. It is the mission of the Food Bank RGV, One Stop Shop and Bert Ogden to help alleviate this hunger by challenging the community to come together and help make a difference.
The general public is encouraged and welcomed to participate. For more information contact Olivia Lemus at (956) 215-0084.
