Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux in Texarkana will be serving over 500 free meals today in their parking lot located at 5209 W. Park Boulevard. Meals will be available from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. No need to even get out of your vehicle. Then the good folks at Walk-On’s will turn around and do it again this Thursday April 30.
We had a chance to get more details from Randy Tompkins…
Media Release regarding Walk-On’s Furlough Kitchen:
In collaboration with Furlough Kitchen in Dallas, Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is opening Furlough Kitchen by Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux, a non-profit operation that will provide furloughed workers one free meal, no matter their former employer.

Formed during the COVID 19 crisis, Furlough Kitchen by Walk-On’s is a food truck that will serve one free meal to furloughed hospitality workers from 2-5 p.m. Walk-On’s anticipates it will be able to serve more than 1,000 meals per day.
Walk-On’s is passionate about community involvement, which is how the Walk-On’s Game On Foundation, Walk-On’s 501(C)3 organization, was formed. While the main focus of the foundation has been providing support for youth athletes and facilities, there is currently an opportunity for Walk-On’s to help with a greater need: to provide meals for employees whose jobs have been affected due to COVID-19. Walk-On’s is asking for monetary donations to the Game On Foundation. All donations made to the foundation will directly benefit furloughed employees with meals and support.
