On Aug. 8, First Farragut United Methodist Church will sponsor a Mobile Pantry food giveaway in its sanctuary to local neighbors in need. A semi-tractor trailer load of food will be distributed, beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing until all food has been handed out. The Mobile Pantry distributes food purchased from the Second Harvest Food Bank.
First Farragut is located at 12733 Kingston Pike in Knoxville. The August Mobile Pantry is the fourth sponsored by FFUMC since 2007. Church volunteers and members of the Order of the Arrow Boy Scouts of America will be on hand to help distribute and load groceries, as well as packets of school supplies and used children's clothing.
