The Christian Outreach Alliance (COA) Food Pantry will be distributing food to the needy of Dallas County on Wednesday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to noon, or whenever the organization runs out of food, whichever comes first.

The pantry is usually open on Thursdays, but organizers decided to distribute food on Wednesday instead due to a chance of severe weather on Thursday.

The COA will use a drive-thru method to distribute food as well as social distancing and other health and safety precautions to keep clientele and volunteers safe.
