Among distributions in the area will be:

Assorted food items are offered free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last, for those in need of food assistance. All items are pre-boxed and pre-bagged. There is a limit of one box or bag per household.

Distributions are drive-thru. Recipients are asked to remain in their vehicle and open their trunk to receive the items. An area will be available for self-loading if your trunk does not open.
