Food giveaway coming to Waitsburg March 27

WAITSBURG—Waitsburg Christian Church, in partnership with Restoration Community Impact and New Beginning Christian Community Church, will be hosting a drive-up food giveaway on Saturday, March 27, from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m., or while supplies last.

Two semi-trucks loaded with 2,000, 30-pound boxes full of assorted fresh fruit, meat, and other items will be parked at the Waitsburg Elementary School parking lot, handing out boxes to anyone who shows up. The giveaway is open to residents of both Walla Walla and Columbia counties.

“This is open to everybody, no question asked,” said Pastor Matthew Wyatt. “It doesn’t matter if you feel like you have a need or not. They don’t want to go back with any boxes left; they want to give them all away.”

Pastor Matthew Wyatt said that they would allow friends or family to pick up a box for anyone unable to drive out to Waitsburg.

All the donating vendors are based in the Tri-Cities. They include Butter Creek Livestock, Cascadia Produce, USDA Farmers to Families, Farmer Frog, Incarceration to Inspiration, Ouren Law Office, Clean Sweep Tri-Cities, and INSP.
