HOLLY HILL, Fla. – Volusia County residents waited patiently for much-appreciated groceries to be passed out during a food drive at Holly Hill City Hall Thursday morning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The drive was supposed to start at 10 a.m. but organizers started filling trunks a half hour earlier, not wanting to keep people who were already in line waiting.
Tanysha Hartsgrove works for Daytona Dream Center, a nonprofit organization that partners with local churches and other agencies to help people in Volusia County.
Hartsgrove said 50 volunteers worked the food drive and provided groceries to more than 1,600 residents. She said it was all thanks to Second Harvest Food Bank, the City of Holly Hill, Heroes Hope Network and Hunger Fight.
