Mission Gatesville is changing the schedule of their food distribution program in December.
The local organization normally passes out bags of non-perishable food at no cost on the first and third Thursday of each month. This month, they will distribute the bags on Saturday, Dec. 21, instead of Thursday.
The distribution will take place at the same location – the organization’s trailer at 301 N. Lutterloh, from 10 a.m. to noon. Arriving at 10 a.m. is recommended since bags are first come first served.
“Remember, we don't require an ID or any proof of residency,” Mission Gatesville wrote in a Facebook post. “Any adult that shows up can get food from us until we run out.”
The bags include non-perishable food along with fresh items such as bread and eggs if available. Bags are limited to one per adult.
Mission Gatesville was founded in early 2023 to further help those in need within the community. They are 100% volunteer run and funded by donations.
While the organization has not made any official plans past Dec. 21, Mission Gatesville Board Member Scott Ayers said there is a possibility they might shift their schedule to the first and third Saturday of the month if distribution in December is successful. The changes would not occur until January 2025.
“We'll post regarding any further changes to the schedule after Dec. 21,” the post said.
