Families, get your free produce box
Friday, May 29, 2020 by Tai Moses
The Parks and Recreation Department is partnering with Brighter Bites and DiMare Fresh to distribute boxes of fresh produce to families in Austin during the pandemic. Each box contains approximately 19 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruits and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Pick up your box each Friday, today through July 31 (no distribution Friday, July 4) at 9 a.m., Turner Roberts Recreation Center, 7201 Colony Loop Drive. Enter from Colony Loop Drive and follow the signs. Volunteers will load your box for you, or you may opt to follow the signs and walk over to pick up your own box.
