Angel’s Closet will hold its second food giveaway on May 1 beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Phil Hux, vice chair of the ministry, said the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office and Roanoke Rapids Fire Department will be at Tru Storage and U-Haul, which is located in the former Barnes Sales and Service building on West Tenth Street across from Browning’s.
There they will hand out 200 boxes of food containing 12 meals each. Each food package in the box contains a heater to warm the food.
They will also be handing out six-packs of Gatorade.
The distribution is limited to one box per car.
The food giveaway came as a solution to the organization’s food bank ministry as Angel’s Closet is currently closed because of COVID-19.
The last food distribution was “very successful,” Hux said.
