There are a number of places each week where West Side residents can get free groceries and other assistance.
The free event, organized by the Austin Eats collaborative, will feature food, films and a panel discussion. It will be held Friday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at By the Hand Club for Kids, 415 N. Laramie.
Tickets for the two-day event being held later this week in Austin and Oak Park are still available.
The local nonprofit will benefit from the upcoming Food Aid Festival, which will be held July 22 and 23 in Austin. The festival will raise funds for organizations addressing food insecurity.
West Side groups in Austin, including the Austin Garden Collective, Forty Acres and the Austin Community Food Co-Op, are working together to help feed the hungry and support local entrepreneurs.
