The Food Bank of Northeast
Arkansas will distribute
commodities this week at the
Forrest City Sports Complex.
The drive-through
distribution is scheduled for
Thursday, from 8 to 10 a.m., or
until the food supply is depleted.
Those receiving USDA foods
must reside in St. Francis
County. Households are eligible
to receive USDA foods once per
month. Recipients must meet
the income guidelines that have
been set for The Emergency
Food Assistance Program
(TEFAP).
Recipients will need to
provide the following
information to determine
program eligibility: name,
address, family size and
combined monthly income of
the household. An appropriate
form of identification such as a
driver’s license, Social Security
card, or picture identification
card must be shown.
Recipients will only be
allowed to pick up USDA foods
for themselves.
To pick up food items for a
shut-in, elderly person or other
qualified household, the person
picking up the food must have
a signed authorization with the
following information from the
person they are picking up for:
name, address, family size and
combined monthly income of
the household receiving the
food.
Case workers picking up for
large groups must make prior
arrangements with the Food
Bank of Northeast Arkansas.
