A special disaster household distribution of commodities is scheduled for next week.

The distribution is for people who are having financial issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is not the regular monthly commodities distribution.

Here's what you need to know about the distribution:

People receiving the commodities will need to sign a paper stating that they have received the food.

People receiving the commodities will need to wear protective masks and stay in their vehicles when picking up the food.

The distribution will be a drive-thru pickup. Volunteers will be available to direct those picking up commodities to where they need to go in the back of the 4-H Building.

The commodities to be distributed include canned beef stew, canned peaches, canned dark kidney beans, dried egg mix, frozen pork patties, frozen fish sticks, dry split peas, boxed raisins, brown rice, instant milk, boxed macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, and a whole frozen chicken.
