PINE BLUFF, Ark First Ward Living Grace Pantry served the community in their third annual Christmas Toy and Food Drive on Sunday afternoon at Southeast Middle School.
This was part two of their event after running out of food last weekend for people and families.
Hundreds were in attendance then, and the need outweighed the supply. Because of the virus. People are getting laid off on their jobs. They got the kids at home homeschooling. They re not working, and I just asked God to give me a way and He had done that, said Debra Allen, the founder of the pantry.
