MIDLAND The West Texas Food Bank is preparing for the Charlie Brown Event, an evening of family fun and giving, to be held on November 11, at the Midland Campus, located at 1601 Westcliff Dr. The event will kick off with a kid’s 1K Turkey Run at 5:30 p.m., followed by a special showing of “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” around 6 p.m.
Inspired by the beloved Peanuts characters, this event is designed to bring the community together for a memorable and heartwarming evening that celebrates the spirit of gratitude and giving. Kids of all ages are encouraged to join the Turkey Run.
The West Texas Food Bank will be serving all the delightful treats featured in “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” including popcorn, jellybeans, pretzels, and of course, a serving of that famous buttered toast.
The event is not just about enjoying food and fun, but it also serves as a platform to raise awareness and support for the West Texas Food Bank’s mission of fighting hunger in the community. Attendees are encouraged to bring poptarts for the West Texas Food Bank poptart drive.
