ODESSA, TEXAS - The United Supermarkets and Market Street family donated 2,100 spaghetti dinners to the West Texas Food Bank.
United and Market Street asked guests to donate $10 dollars at the register to help complete a spaghetti meal in support of the West Texas Food Bank during Hunger Action Month, a news release said.
“We have some of the best guests around. We could not do what we do without the support of our guests during this drive,” said Ricky Holman, a representative for United Supermarkets and Market Street.
Holman also said that they donated an additional 500 pounds of ground beef to help complete the dinners.
“We are so grateful to our corporate partners like United and Market Street that continuously help us feed those in need with continued support from the community. The spaghetti dinners will help our neighbors, especially with the cost of rising inflation,” said Libby Campbell, CEO of the West Texas Food Bank.
The West Texas food bank serves 19 counties in West Texas and those 19 counties cover 34,000 sq. miles, which is close to the size of the state of Maine.
“We have a great partnership with our guests and with the West Texas Food Bank. We are so excited to be a part of something of this magnitude,” Holman said.
