Hays County Courthouse, San Marcos, TX – The Hays County Food Bank, in partnership with the San Marcos VFW, the Hays County Veteran Service Office, and the City of San Marcos Veterans Advisory Board, is holding a drive-thru food distribution on November 21 to assist local veterans this Thanksgiving season.

He added that there are 30 slots available and encouraged veterans to sign up in advance using this Sign Up Genius Link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0d49aea623aa8-veterans.
