A community food train has opened in Bloomington, providing access to free meals for K-12 students throughout the month of March. The service will provide food to Monroe County youth facing food insecurity as a result of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic.
The service will be available from 12:30–2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17; Thursday, March 19; Tuesday, March 24; and Thursday, March 26.
Youth 18 and under can pick up meals at the following locations:
- Arlington Valley Mobile Home Park at Classic Lanes
- Banneker Community Center
- Boys & Girls Club, Crestmont
- Country View Apartments
- East Burks Drive (Walnut Springs)
- Kroger (Seminary Square)
- The intersection of Marquis Drive and Lismore Drive

The food train is made possible through a partnership between B.J.’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Pizza X, Red Lobster, Texas Roadhouse, and more.
This is wonderful. Thank you local restaurants for taking this up and making a difference.
Is there a place to donate to help maintain this?
