Golden Harvest Food Bank will be holding a produce distribution in the parking lot of its Faith Food Factory location on August 18th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Families will have the opportunity to have fresh produce loaded into their vehicles to take home to put on the dinner table. The location is across the street from the Food Bank’s main warehouse.

Golden Harvest Food Bank and its over 300 partner agencies have continued to provide fresh produce for community members throughout the year, and the produce distribution comes at a time where the rising costs of food is putting families in tough situations. Data from Feeding America shows that 1 in 8 in Golden Harvest's 25 county service area are food insecure.

“Many families are having to make difficult decisions when it comes to paying their bills versus putting food on the table,” said Golden Harvest Food Bank President & CEO Amy Breitmann. “In addition to all the great produce that has been going out to our partners, we are proud to be doing these direct distributions during a time that is extremely challenging for families trying to make ends meet.”

Volunteers will place fresh produce including items such as carrots, corn, potatoes, and radishes in the trunks of incoming vehicles. Each car may receive enough produce to feed two families. Please arrive in a vehicle with the trunk empty.
