ANNOUNCEMENT:

Starting the first of the year 2025, we will be changing how we do the USDA distributions. We have distributions every other month.

Starting in January we will have distribution the last week of the month, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am-11:30 am & 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. There will be 4 spaces in the front of the building that will be marked for neighbors to park. You will have to come inside and we will scan your bar code. Once we do that we will have you go back to your car and we will bring your USDA food to your car and load it.

We will do this as a trial run for a while to see if it will work out. This will give everyone time to be able to get their stuff throughout the week instead of one specific day and time.

The River Valley Regional Food Bank is an equal opportunity provider.
