Representatives from Skanska USA Building, who are in charge of the Lucky Eagle Hotel and Casino expansion for the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, were on hand at the Maverick County Food Pantry on Del Rio Blvd. to present a donation of canned foods and food supplies for our community this Thursday morning. 

Zachary Clay, Project Manager informed The News Gram of the donation which was spearheaded by Jodie Logan who is a Field Administrator for Skanska USA Building Operations and took the liberty of organizing a canned food drive in order to contribute and provide social assistance to local community members that may be in need. 

Becky Ballou, Directress of The Maverick County Food Pantry & Family Services Department, solidified the importance of these types of corporate partnerships and the much needed assistance that they provide to our local citizens. 

"We give literally hundreds of emergency bags sometimes, so when local businesses donate in this way it enables us to help a lot of people with a lot of needs, "There will be a lot of children and elderly that will get assistance from these folks. Its essential to what we do."

The Maverick County Food Pantry is located on 1609 Del Rio Boulevard, directly in front of the Old Junior High and distribute approximately 950 food bags to elderly recipients in Maverick County on the first week of very month on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays.
