The next food distribution and senior food box program will be held Friday, Oct. 2, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., at First United Methodist Church, 1526 E. Wooster St., Bowling Green.

Free fresh produce and food will be available in limited quantities. This is for anyone in Wood County who meets the income guidelines or who has recently lost their job.  

SeaGate Food Bank also is present at the same time to hand out Senior Boxes to those who meet eligibility requirements.

There will be a drive-thru set up this month to distribute food in accordance with current guidelines to help prevent the spread of viruses.  You are asked to remain in your vehicles in the church parking lot and wait for volunteer instructions.  The pantry will not open early, so early line-ups are discouraged.  Our volunteers appreciate your patience as we try to continue to serve those in need safely.

Contact the church if you have questions at (419) 353-0682.
