BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:

Whispering Roots is partnering with local leaders to host a free fresh food drive-thru event at Miller Park, offering families access to healthy produce at no cost.

The organization will distribute 345 boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables, including pineapples, watermelons, apples, and potatoes. The event is first-come, first-served.

Cars may begin lining up at 4:30 p.m., with distribution starting at 5:00 p.m. at Miller Park.

Organizers say the goal is simple: make sure neighbors have reliable access to nutritious food — without any paperwork, appointments, or eligibility requirements.

The effort comes as many families across the metro continue to feel pressure from rising food costs and reduced access to federal food assistance programs.
