MANSFIELD, Texas - Tarrant Area Food Bank kicked off its first Mega Food Bank since the holidays with two giveaways Thursday.
There was one in Mansfield in partnership with the non-profit organization, Harvesting in Mansfield.
Each Thursday, it distributes boxes of food for 700-900 families, with no zip code restrictions.
Harvesting in Mansfield said the generosity of donors is helping them to meet the growing demand, but there is still a need.
"We are obviously always looking for volunteers. We are lacking in volunteers. A lot of our volunteers were senior citizens and a lot of them are not able to volunteer because of the pandemic," said Lisa Richardson, associate executive director for Harvesting in Mansfield.
