Commodities to be available for county families

By Sandy Morris

Pick-up dates for the May distribution of the commodity food program will be Thursday, May 6 and Friday, May 7.

Certified eligible families in Moran should pick up their monthly commodity food at the Moran City Hall between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 6. 

Albany families who have been certified as eligible for the May food distribution program may pick up their food on Friday, May 7, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the rear door of the JP office. 

Recipients who are unable to pick up their commodities in person can send a signed and dated note with someone to pick up the food for them.

The commodity supplemental food program (CSFP) is federally funded and works to improve the health of low-income and elderly people at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodity foods.
