Seco Mines Community Center Adopt A Family Program Distributed Their Monthly Supplemental Food Bags

Maverick County Precinct 3 - The Seco Mines Community Center distributed their monthly supplemental food bags to Maverick County residents as part of the Adopt-A-Family program. The Adopt-A-Family is a program that is offered by the South Texas Food Bank and allows the community to become part of an effort to help alleviate the hunger problem that exists here in our community. This program is offered in eight counties with Maverick County being one of them. Any one wishing to sponsor or adopt a local family can do so by paying a small fee of $120 per year or $10 per month. The adopted family will receive a 30 lb. bag of supplemental food that will help them through part of the month. As a sponsor you can either choose a family or a family is chosen from a waiting list. If you are interested in sponsoring a family or would like more information, please contact the Seco Mines Community Center at 830-773-5588 and speak with Linda Pesina to fill out an application.
