Farmer To Families Food Distribution - Friday, April 2, 2021
There will be another Farmers to Families Food Box distribution in Lawrence County this Friday, April 2nd from 2-4 at the Solutions Center in Mitchell. Over 1000 boxes will be distributed. This is the last time we will receive a shipment this large, though we do expect shipments of over 500 boxes to be distributed every Friday through Friday, April 23rd. We will have plenty of boxes for those that attend. We do not check for need or residency and it is a contactless distribution.
