Tarrant Area Food Bank is planning its second large scale food distribution in Arlington on June 30 at Global Life Field.
This event is designed to serve any and all residents of the Arlington community who are in need of food assistance, and anyone whose access to nutritious food has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. All are welcome to receive food at this event, the food bank said in an announcement.
