Metairie, LA (WGNO) — An extremely long line of vehicles filed into the parking lot of Zephyr Field for a Second Harvest Food Bank food distribution this afternoon.

The event began at 1 p.m. and lasted until 3 p.m. Organizers with Second Harvest say over 3,000 families received 113,000 pounds of food.
