PHARR — Last week, the City of Pharr partnered with Vanguard Academy, the Food Bank RGV, Walmart, and the Collaborative for Fresh Produce to fight summer hunger and help families in need. Working together, the partners distributed food for 1,000 students and families in Pharr. Cars lined up outside Vanguard's Rembrandt Elementary in Pharr as the food distribution began. Many left with big smiles and repeated thanks as they headed home with there load of fresh food, ready to feed their families. "It's amazing what can happen in a community when partners work together to help our families," said Mayor Ambrosio Hernandez,
