Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome has announced a crucial holiday food distribution event designed to support families in need within the Baton Rouge community. Scheduled for December 18, residents can gather at 9000 Airline Highway, starting at 10 a. m. , to receive food boxes aimed at alleviating food insecurity during the festive season. The distribution is particularly vital as many households face increased challenges during the holidays.

To streamline the process, residents are encouraged to enter the parking lot via Connells Village Lane and arrive early to ensure they can access the resources available. This initiative is part of the larger effort by the city to address hunger and provide assistance to those struggling. Mayor Broome's commitment to community welfare is evident in this timely intervention, which seeks to uplift local families. The food distribution event not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters a sense of community solidarity. As the holiday season approaches, this initiative reflects the city's dedication to supporting its residents in times of difficulty.
