HAMPTON, Va. - Inside Smoothie Stop s now seven-month-old store in Hampton s Peninsula Town Center, local race car driver Brenden Queen tries his hand at making a smoothie.
It s called Flat-out for the Food Bank. It s really cool to be a part of something like this that I can help others that are less fortunate, Queen, who races at Langley Speedway, told News 3.
The new smoothie featuring orange, mango, strawberries and other fresh fruits was created in honor of the News 3 Food Drive, an effort to support local food banks, in anticipation of our visit. Smoothie Stop says it will donate a portion of sales over the next couple weeks to the food bank to help feed people who are hungry.
