Georgetown Veterans of Foreign Wars will host the drive-thru event from 10 a.m. to noon at VFW park, 6297 Main St. in Georgetown, where people can restock their refrigerators, freezers and cupboards on items such as cheese, canned foods, bread, meat and other miscellaneous items.

Helping with the distribution are Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints JustServe volunteers as well as the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Fire Department.
