The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas will host drive-thru commodity distribution in Greene County on Wednesday, Feb. 21, from 9 a.m. until food runs out at the Paragould Community Center, 3404 Linwood Drive.
Persons receiving USDA foods must reside in Greene County. Recipients must also meet the income guidelines that have been set for The Emergency Food Assistance Program.
Recipients will need to provide the following information to determine program eligibility: name, address, family size, and combined monthly income of the household. An appropriate form of identification such as a driver’s license, social security card, or picture identification card must be shown.
Recipients will only be allowed to pick up USDA foods for themselves. To pick up food items for a shut-in, elderly person, or other qualified household, the person picking up the food must have signed authorization with the following information from the person they are picking up for: name, address, family size, and combined monthly income of the household receiving the food. Case workers picking up for large groups must make prior arrangements with the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas.
USDA foods are distributed on a first come, first served basis. For more information about the distribution of USDA foods or questions concerning eligibility for this program, contact Natalie Neal at the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas by calling 870-932-3663.
