As part of the Coronavirus Farm Assistance Program, the USDA is exercising authority under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act to purchase and distribute agricultural products to those in need. Through this program, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is partnering with national, regional, and local suppliers, whose workforce has been significantly impacted by the closure of restaurants, hotels, and other foodservice businesses, to purchase up to $3 billion in fresh produce, dairy and meat products.

Boxes weigh 25 lbs and will contain fresh produce ONLY at this time. The distribution will be from 2:45 -4:00 pm (or until boxes run out) in the Peace Lutheran Church parking lot. All are welcome!!!
