Destin Harvest will be hosting a drive-thru food distribution on Saturday, January 30th at the Northwest Florida Fairgrounds in Fort Walton Beach.

Feeding the Gulf Coast has allocated $6,000 in donated food items that includes fresh and nonperishable food to be distributed this weekend.

Destin Harvest is partnering with United Way Emerald Coast and FWB Police Department at Northwest Florida Fairgrounds to distribute 500 to 700 boxes of produce, meats, dairy items, and non-perishables out to vehicles from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. or until supplies last.

Each identical box will host enough foods to feed a family for two to three days. The NWFL Fairgrounds is located at 1958 Lewis Turner Blvd, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547.

If you, or someone you know, needs food assistance, make sure to not miss the drive-through food distributions taking place this weekend. No identification required at NWFL Fairgrounds. Just drive up in line and pop the trunk or back door of your vehicle and a volunteer will load a food box.

“Doesn’t it still end up with 4 lanes on either end after bridges? Seems more aesthetic than a traffic plan. Which is nice too but does it increase the function?”
