Water’s Edge, Manna Ministries and the Kiwanis Club of South Lake Charles will have a “huge” food giveaway 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, June 17,  at Water’s Edge, 2760 Power Center Pkwy.

“Cases of food will be given away,” said Don Ash, director of Manna Ministries. “There is no application or screening process, and it is still a drive by and pick up, no questions asked.”

The food is provided by food pantries at Manna Ministries and Waters Edge. 

“We have been getting large donations from other food pantries that are not operational,” Ash said. “Also, we have purchased a large amount of groceries from donations by our churches. All of the items we will be giving away are non-perishable such as canned meats, vegetables and fruit, rice, mac & cheese, dried fruits and beans, pasta, etc. We also have gotten a lot of cases of miscellaneous items such as Girl Scout cookies, tuna, dried fruit, raisins, non-perishable milk, cereal, etc. 

Volunteers from Waters Edge, Manna Ministries and the Kiwanis Club of South Lake Charles will distribute the food.

Manna Ministries is a group of area churches who work together to provide emergency assistance to those in need.
