Fruitful Fridays
Farmers to Families
Catholic Charities is partnering with Go Fresh to distribute food boxes to hungry neighbors in the community.
Friday, June 26
9 a.m. – noon
Towne East, NW parking lot
Food boxes available to those in need
Holy Cow! We’ve got a dairy box for you this week. Food boxes will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis, while supplies last. We ask that vehicles do not line up prior to 8:30 a.m.
Boxes will be distributed in the northwest corner of the Towne East Square parking lot, near the corner of Douglas Ave. and Towne East Drive (west of Rock and Douglas).
There is no application process. Catholic Charities is here to help provide for our hungry neighbors in the community.
What will you receive?
At the second Fruitful Friday on June 26, individuals and families will receive a box containing milk, butter, cheese, yogurt and more.
Catholic Charities is here to support the community and will continue to do so as our community recovers.
What is the program?
The Farmers to Families Food Box Program was created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under authority of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
USDA is partnering with national, regional and local suppliers to purchase up to $3 billion in fresh produce, dairy and meat products from agricultural producers. Suppliers package these products into family-sized boxes to be distributed to people in need.
Want to help spread the word?
Here are a few tools to help get the word out to your neighbors, coworkers, family and friends.

- We are distributing pre-packaged boxes of food based on household size via a temporary drive-thru.
