WEST MONROE, LA – The City of West Monroe, in partnership with the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana, will host a food distribution on May 26th at the IKE Hamilton Expo Center. The food distribution is open to all residents who live in Ouachita Parish who are in need of food.
- Ouachita Parish Food Distribution: Wednesday, May 26th from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., or until supplies last. The distribution will be held at the Ike Hamilton Expo Center located at 501 Mane Street in West Monroe.
Each vehicle will receive a box containing apples, milk, and assorted fresh and frozen foods. Food will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis, and limited to one set per vehicle.
