Food give-away in Wellston

Body

On Friday, Sept. 18, boxes of produce and dairy boxes will be distributed through the United States Department of Agriculture’s Farmers to Families Food Box Program. This is not a needs-based program, so the food can go to anyone without restriction.

Drive through the baseball stadium at 900 Hickory in Wellston to pick up a box for your family. Food will be distributed from 10 a.m. until supplies last. There will be people in the parking lot to help direct the flow of traffic.

The boxes contain fresh, perishable food so you will need to plan for refrigeration. Though this program primarily benefits farmers and prevents the waste of agriculture products, it also serves as a great provision of food to others.

The event is sponsored by Wellston and Luther United Methodist Churches. For more information, call Pastor Patricia Johnson at (405) 742-7081.
