Central Texas Food Bank to hold special food distribution Monday

AUSTIN, Texas - The Central Texas Food Bank is holding another food distribution to help residents impacted by the recent ice storm.

CTFB says it is "concerned about how the recent ice storm is affecting everyone, in particular the thousands of Central Texans who find themselves in need as a result of the recent power outage." As of 9 p.m. Saturday night, almost 32,000 people were still without power due to just over 1,400 active outages according to Austin Energy's outage map.

CTFB will be holding the special food distribution on Monday, Feb. 6 from 6-8 p.m. at Delco Activity Center, located at 4601 Pecan Brook Drive in Northeast Austin.

This is the third distribution in recent days, with CTFB having served more than 1,000 households at distributions at Onion Creek Soccer Complex and Nelson Field on Saturday.
