Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome is partnering with the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank to host a drive-thru food distribution event at Glen Oaks High School.
Mayor Broome says boxes of food will be provided for up to 1,000 families on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Organizers say they are hosting the event to help East Baton Rouge Parish residents who have been financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents in need of a food box for their household should report to Glen Oaks High School at 9 a.m., and the mayor encourages residents to arrive early if possible.
