“On Tuesday, many ‘Feed Fayette’ volunteers worked throughout the day to hand out and personally deliver food boxes to seniors, the homebound, and veterans.
‘Feed Fayette’ is provided by a relief program entitled ‘Farmers To Families.’ The Farmers to Families Food Box program is part of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), which was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Using authority provided by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, USDA partnered with national, regional and local distributors, whose workforces were significantly impacted by the closure of restaurants, hotels and other food service businesses, to purchase and distribute agricultural products to Americans in need.
South Side Church of Christ is able to utilize the Farmers to Families program to provide over 3,000 boxes weekly.
‘We were blessed to hand out an entire semi truck of food boxes to our community,’ explained South Side Pastor Barry Pettit. ‘We have been blessed to be a blessing! As always we want to thank all volunteers, and we look forward to partnering more with the community in this great outreach.’”
