Children’s Table Will Provide Hurricane Relief This Week
Levy County, Florida -The Children’s Table Food Pantry will be open every day
this week from 9:00am to noon to provide emergency non-perishable food as well as hot
soup and sandwiches to any and all impacted by Hurricane Issac. The Food Pantry is lo-
cated at 680 West Thrasher Drive in Bronson, Florida directly on Highway 24 east of Cedar
Key. “With all the rain we’ve had recently, lots of people have already been flooded out or
close to it,” said Bill Brown, co-founder of The Children’s Table. “This storm (Hurricane
Issac) promises to dump even more water on us. Our mission is to feed hungry people and
we want to help as many as we can.” Local people impacted by the storm, as well as evacu-
ees from other places and those passing through are welcome. “We’ll keep serving as long
as the food holds out,” Brown stated.
For more information, to volunteer or to donate to the cause, please call Bill or
Verna Brown at(352) 486-6525.
