Fresh Food Fridays - Free to All

The YMCA of Barry County and Blue Zones Activate Barry County are offering “Fresh Food Fridays”. They have arranged to bring in a large number of free fresh food boxes through a USDA  “Farm to Families Program” in collaboration with the distributor Perfect Pact.

 

The distribution will begin this Friday, May 29, 2020 and  they expect to be receiving deliveries every Friday through the end of June.

 

There is no qualification needed to receive a box. You do not need to have children to receive a box. It is free, and the boxes are intended for anyone who can use them. No names, addresses, or pre-registration will be necessary to receive food. Please note this is a first come - first served program.

 

There are pick up sites around the county including Hastings High School, Middleville United Methodist Church, Nashville Assembly of God, Freeport District Library, Vermontville Bible Church, Dowling Library and more.

 

Cars will line up and drive through the designated areas at each location to receive a free box of fresh produce. Please remain in your vehicle.

 

DETAILS: We are receiving 1,200 boxes of produce each week! The food is being made available to us as part of an arrangement with the USDA, to get food from farmers who would otherwise have crops rot, and instead get the food to people who will use it! Each family box contains 20lb boxes with 7 commodities.
