Feeding America donated an entire tractor trailer load of produce today on the square in Brownsville as hundreds of county residents showed up to take advantage of the surplus.

Vickie Walker, Coordinator for the local Senior Food Pantry announced that the event was scheduled to take place at 10am, but said today that the truck showed up early and instead of having people wait in the hot sun, they began distributing food at 8:30am this morning. 

"Everything went very orderly today and we had no problems," Walker said. "Everyone has pitched in and we've had so many great volunteers."
