Over 8 million people in Texas are still experiencing water disruptions, and thousands are still without power. Midwest Food Bank has received a request from the Salvation Army for six additional loads of family food boxes and at least three loads of bottled water to be sent to Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas.
On Friday, February 19, two loads left MFB’s Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, facility. At least one load will be leaving every day this week. Three loads of bottled water are being prepared for shipment from Midwest Food Bank Georgia in Peachtree City.
