Annual food drive returns to Killeen with help from troops

Annual food drive returns to Killeen
Floating on cloud nine is how Ann Farris said she will feel after Killeen's Food Care Center receives its donated goods during the Central Texas Food For Families drive Nov. 21.

Farris, the co-director of the Food Care Center, said sorting all those provisions and getting them out to families in need will be an exhausting process, but it is always well worth the positive impact that the simplest of necessities can make on the community.

Through the partnership between KWTX Channel 10 News, H-E-B, the Longhorn Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the U.S. Army, local food pantries and scores of volunteers, the food drive has been going strong in Central Texas for 18 years.

Virgil Teter, the vice president of news at KWTX and an organizer of the drive, said the event is spread over 19 cities and nine counties.
