Food bank’s thanks
Editor, The Commercial:
The Delta Regional Community Services Outreach Network Inc. and its Delta Network Food Bank of Pine Bluff hosted their annual drive-thru hunger relief distribution on Saturday, Dec. 18, 2021, at the Pine Bluff Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in spite of rain that poured from the beginning until the end of the event. Hundreds of families lined up and the volunteers showed up.
Tyson Foods donated a truckload of chicken (40,000 pounds) to help families facing economic distress. Cars were lined up at 7:30 a.m. in spite of the rain and continued until 1 p.m.

We would like to offer special thanks to Tyson Foods for the truckload donation; the Pine Bluff and Jefferson County police officers for providing traffic control; the Pine Bluff Convention Center’s staff, Arkansas Democrat/Pine Bluff Commercial, Delta-Plex Radio Station, Stone Bank and all other supporters.
