    August Food Distribution

    Friday, August 5th from 10:00-11:00am

     

    We have a slight change for the month of September. Rather than holding the distribution on our regular first Friday schedule, we will move the distribution to Friday, September 9th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. We will return to our regular distribution schedule during the month of October.

    Hopefully everyone noticed the beautiful refrigerated truck that UC&FS has acquired. The United Community & Family Services staff work extremely hard to ensure that every participant receives generous amounts of non-perishable and perishable items (when available) to help supplement their food budget.

    The Monday afternoon Game Day Program will take a short break during the months of
    July and August and will return in September.
