“We want to serve as many people as we can, and we want to make it as low a barrier as possible for receiving assistance,” Kyle City Councilmember Robert Rizo said in a news release. “We aren’t here to decide who does and doesn’t need food. We are just going to make sure you have it.”
The distribution will be a drive-thru and volunteers will place food into each vehicle's trunk. The food bank is asking that each household only send one person to the event and that all attendees come in vehicles. There will be no walk-up distribution, to adhere to social distancing requirements.

The Central Texas Food Bank is also hosting other food distribution events. Details about those can be found here.
