WALLACE, NC (WWAY) — A free community food giveaway is planned Tuesday in Wallace for residents of Duplin and Pender counties.

Mt. Calvary Center for Leadership Development will hold the distribution Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its Wallace office, located at 414 N. Norwood St., across from Truist Bank.
