STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - More than a thousand families got a helping hand in Statesboro today.
Volunteers directed people through traffic to load them up with food. The food drop was sponsored by Feed the Boro, the City of Statesboro, and Second Harvest Food Bank. People lined up to receive a supply of food that will feed an average family for one week. Cars lined up in the Statesboro High parking lot hours before the drop began. It also brings out people and groups to help.
