PAGE TITLE BANNER: FOOD DISTRIBUTION

We serve our communities with regular food distribution. We are a food distribution agency of FoodLink for Tulare County. We are also now receiving weekly deliveries of food from Wal-Mart through Feeding America. Thanks for the support!

 

We distribute food on Mondays in Dinuba at our shelter from 1 to 4 PM; we also distribute at the Boy Scout building in Orosi on the 3rd Tuesday of the month and at Ledbetter Park in Cutler on the 4th Tuesday of the month.  In 2009 about 178,000 pounds of food were distributed. To receive food, clients must bring identification, proof of income for the last 4 weeks and a utility bill.

 

We expect to feed about 900 families during the Christmas season. Distributions will be Dec. 15, Orosi; Dec. 18, Dinuba; and Dec. 22, Cutler. All will be from 9 AM to Noon. Volunteers are needed to help assemble food boxes.
