Drive-Up Food Giveaways Draw Thousands in Selma

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

Two drive-up food giveaways in Selma — brought thousands of people out today — to get free food.

One of the giveaways was at the Christian Outreach Alliance Food Pantry. People drove up one after another — to get free bags of groceries.

The other giveaway was at Crosspoint Christian Church. People who came got a box load of free food.

“It’s been a blessing. It’s just a great opportunity for us to impact and bless the community,” said Pastor Alan Yarbrough.

“I think we’ve given out over 18,000 lbs worth of food today. And so it’s just a great opportunity for us to be the church outside these four walls.”

The Selma Area Food Bank supplied most of the food for the giveaways.
