A one-time opportunity to get free food thanks to the Door County Food Pantry Coalition is Friday. The USDA Farmer’s to Families Food Box program will be held in Sturgeon Bay from 4:00 until 6:00 pm at Sawyer Park. Pre-filled boxes of meat, cheese, milk, and produce will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis. Dakota Londo of the Door County Food Pantry Coalition explains the procedure.
Londo adds that recipients should remain in their vehicles while picking up the food boxes at Sawyer Park on Friday. The national program contracted for $1.2 billion in food products to be distributed to families in need while providing support to the agricultural sector during the COVID-19 emergency. The initial round of Farmer’s to Families Food Box Program will be completed by next Tuesday.
