East Los Angeles area residents in need of food amid the coronavirus pandemic can head to a drive-thru food pantry Tuesday.

The food will be distributed between 9 a.m. and noon at the East Los Angeles Civic Center located at 4801 East 3rd Street.

The food will be placed into vehicles by volunteers so drivers and passengers do not need to get out.

The event is being put on by the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank in collaboration with Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis, according to a news release.

The Food Bank is expecting to distribute food to more than 1,000 families.

People seeking food assistance can also go to the Food Bank’s food pantry locator on its website.

Anyone who is able to donate can also do so on the Food Bank’s website.
