As the NASCAR Playoffs come to Martinsville Speedway, God‘s Pit Crew and Monogram Foods are partnering with the track to distribute food boxes to benefit families in Henry County, Va. on Tuesday, Oct. 25 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The event is made possible through a grant from Monogram Loves Kids.
“We are grateful to partner with God‘s Pit Crew and Monogram Foods to support families in need in Martinsville and Henry County,” said Martinsville President Clay Campbell. “God‘s Pit Crew is a Virginia organization that has had a positive impact in the lives of families in need across the nation since 1999. We look forward to working together to once again give back to our community leading into the holiday season.”
There will be 2,000 food boxes distributed to 1,000 families of Martinsville and Henry County. The food boxes will contain 40 pounds of food essentials and either a case of water or Gatorade. Henry County residents will enter from 220 Business on Industrial Park Road, turn right on Clover Road and follow signs to the food distribution sites.
