USDA surplus food distribution

Surplus food, donated by The United States Department of Agriculture, will be distributed to eligible residents in Holmes County, Wednesday, June 25, from 2 until 4 p.m., at the Bonifay Ag Center on Hwy 90.
Items will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis, while supplies last. Tri-County Community Council, Inc is sponsoring the surplus food distribution.
Households receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), food stamps, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, HUD, residents of public housing, or households whose total household income is not in excess of the poverty level for the appropriate household size, are eligible to receive the donated food. Any person certifying for another must have a signed statement of authorization from the applicant and proof of their household income.
Recipients must bring some type of container in which to carry their food, and someone to assist carrying commodities if unable to do so.
Volunteers who wish to assist with distribution should call Angie Moore at 547-3688. USDA’s Temporary Food Assistance Program is available to all eligible residents regardless of race, national origin, age, sex, or handicap.
Health on Site, a free community service, sponsored by a local eye institute, will be available at each distribution site. The screening for cataracts and other vision problems will be conducted by the Health on Site director or other trained eye care specialists. Tri-County Community Council, Inc. is an equal opportunity organization.
