The dragstrip in Pomona, Calif., internationally known as the site of the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals and the Auto Club NHRA Finals, also forms the northwestern border of a 487-acre facility known as Fairplex, which serves Los Angeles County year-round. Last month, Fairplex announced a partnership with Sowing Seeds for Life from La Verne Calif., to use the dragstrip as a drive-through food pantry on the first and third Wednesday of each month until the pandemic concludes.<\/p>\n

Food will be given to all county residents in need with correct ID who drive in Gate 17 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., or until supplies last. Residents will stay in their cars while protectively-clothed volunteers load boxes of food into the vehicles. According to the Daily Bulletin, over 1,600 vehicles took part in the first food pantry event, held April 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re glad to partner with Sowing Seeds, which is an established food pantry in this community. They have a strong base of volunteers that worked with the LA Food Bank to get these supplies,\u201d said Fairplex CEO Miguel Santana to the Daily Bulletin. Joyce Johnson, a spokesperson with Sowing Seeds, added, \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work to put this kind of operation together but we know this is when our services are needed the most.\u201d<\/p>\n
