ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The West Ohio Food Bank is preparing for one of their largest resource fair and food distributions of the year.
The Allen County Fairgrounds will be the location of the event on Thursday, October 13th. They are currently looking for businesses or agencies that would like to set up for the resource fair. Organizers say it's a great opportunity for people to talk to each other about what services they offer to someone who may be in need of them.
"So for the first couple of hours, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., folks are going to have the chance to get in line for food and get out of their vehicles and walk around the Allen County Fairgrounds and visit these booths for these non-profits and other businesses that want to get the word out about their organizations that maybe these folks coming for food have never even heard of before," said Jason Aldrich, communication & PR manager at West Ohio Food Bank.
The food distribution will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Gates will open around 8 a.m. Again you can get in line for food distribution and attend the resource fair from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Allen County Fairgrounds.
