DANVILLE, Va. – God’s Pit Crew is joining forces with Roanoke City Schools, Straight Street of Roanoke, and the Carilion Clinic Community Health and Outreach, to assemble 500 food boxes to help the homeless and needy families.

The food boxes and supplies will be assembled Tuesday afternoon at God’s Pit Crew’s distribution center on North Main Street and will be delivered to Roanoke City Schools on Thursday. Because of gathering restrictions due to COVID-19, the food boxes will be assembled by small teams.

In addition to the food boxes, the families will receive a backpack with supplies for children.
