(Atlantic) Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh says Cass County just received a treat for Halloween.
Hoegh says on Saturday, October 31, USDA Farmers to Families Food Boxes will be given away at the Cass County Community Center from 11:00 AM– 2:00 PM or as supplies last. She says anyone in need is welcome to visit the drive-through food box pick-up, and no documentation is required. Boxes will be given away at no cost. People from surrounding towns and communities are welcome.
The USDA Farmers to Families Food Boxes contain 20 pounds of food: 10 pounds of produce, 5 pounds of pre-cooked meat, and 5 pounds of dairy products, and come with a gallon of milk.
Those picking up food boxes at the Community Center are asked to follow signage and volunteer directions to help the event run smoothly. Please don’t begin lining up before 10 AM.
