Over 11,000 pounds of USDA food were distributed in Flomaton Saturday morning. Individuals, local churches and business joined Feeding the Gulf Coast to provide the food to families in need. The Flomaton Town Council approved a recommendation from Mayor Dewey Bondurant establishing the a food bank at the Flomaton Community Center.

“We will do this again for the next two Saturdays,” Bondurant said. NorthEscambia.com will post details on the next giveaway times when they are announced.
