A trailer from Feed the Children travels the states distributing food to low-income families. They find corporations like Energizer in Dover to partner up with to provide needed help to families.
First State Community Action Agency teamed up with Feed the Children, Energizer and Sussex County Health Promotion Coalition Oct. 24 to distribute boxes of food, toiletries, household items and Avon products to low-income families from Sussex, Kent and New Castle counties.
This all took place at Playtex in Dover. Early in the morning, cars lined up through the parking lot at Playtex and out into the streets with vouchers for food and other items.
Shown loading up the trunk for Charlotte Colson of Milford is First State volunteer Leroy Mann III.
