The rain came, but the people still sat out in the parking lot in their vehicles waiting on their turn to pull up under the back awning of the Pontotoc County Agri-Center to receive some food. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown a lot of people out of work for a bit and created a need for food.
Toyota of Mississippi gave away food to 500 families at the Pontotoc Agri-Center last Wednesday as some 200 vehicles waited in line for their turn to pick up foods like fresh potatoes, frozen foods and boxed juices.
