Our Distribution times remain the same. All our distributions have shifted to drive through service. Please remain in your car and follow directives from the Food Bank personnel. We will provide pre-packed bags only. Remember to arrive on time, because once the line has been helped, the Food Bank will close. (No distributions Dec. 22 and Dec. 23)
