Volunteers reach out to Fort Worth community as protesters clash during Sen. Kamala Harris visit

Описание: As tense moments unfolded in East Fort Worth, at a pair of politically-charged events, a group of volunteers called for peace and understanding at a food distribution event just a few miles away.

“That is not who we are,” said Kevin Haliburton, about the division and rising tensions. “We are really at our core together."

On Friday, the Holland Hills Baptist Chuch pastor teamed up with volunteers to hand out enough food, personal protective equipment and flu shots to help some 1,500 families at the distribution event outside Mt. Rose Baptist Church.

“Our big message is to love our neighbor and then all the noise that’s going on all around us,” said Vint Hargrave, one of the organizers. “We just kind of tune that noise out and we get here and we all start serving in love.”

The distribution event happened as a visit by vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris brought supporters and protesters to a church in East Fort Worth.
