LR food distribution set Thursday

The Outlets of Little Rock will host a second drive-up food distribution event with the Arkansas Foodbank on Thursday to assist people in need during the covid-19 pandemic.

The event begins at 9 a.m. and will last until supplies run out. The food bank will have enough food for up to 1,500 families.

The outlet mall is at 11201 Bass Pro Parkway in southwest Little Rock. Vehicles should enter from Bass Pro Parkway near Loves Travel Center into the parking lot at the north entry across from Movie Tavern.

All other entry points will be closed.

Patrons must remain in their vehicles; no walk-ups will be allowed. One food donation will be distributed per vehicle.

At its previous distribution event at the outlet mall April 28, the food bank provided enough food to feed 840 families and ran out in about 90 minutes.
