CrossPointe Community Church is hosting another Farmers to Families Free Food Box Giveaway THIS Thursday, April 15th from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.  No registration is needed. Pickup location is CrossPointe Community Church, 445 N Warner Rd. Whitewater.

From the WI State Farmer, January 5, 2021:

“USDA has distributed more than 132 million food boxes since the pandemic began, causing widespread economic issues as national unemployment skyrocketed. Even though the American economy has since begun the recovery process, there are still hurdles in the way that the food box program will help address.

The $1.5 billion comes from the newest congressional legislation passed Dec. 21, which served as a catch-all bill that included many stipulations for addressing the effects of the pandemic. The boxes will still contain dairy, meat and fresh produce as in the past four rounds, except this round’s boxes will also include seafood.”
