ANSONIA, OH -- Shared Harvest Foodbank, in partnership with OSU Extension, Darke County, and Darke County United Way, will host a “drive-thru” food distribution at Ansonia Local Schools, Wednesday, October 21st from 4:30-6:30 PM.

 Shared Harvest is preparing 700 boxes to be distributed to Darke County residents for this hands-free food distribution. A family receiving food will provide verbal self-attestation for income, residency, and identity and self-verify income (household eligibility guidelines are listed below) while the COVID-19 emergency is ongoing. 

 All Darke County residents in need of food are welcome to attend this event and receive food. We ask that anyone coming to the distribution to wait to line up until after 3:30 to allow for buses and the student pick up line to be completed.  Please remember, people receiving food need to stay in their vehicles for the registration process and place their car in "Park" while their food is being loaded.  With the addition of onsite registration, lines will take a little bit longer. This information will be used to help determine where families in Darke County are residing so we can bring Shared Harvest closer to those communities in the future.  Please be patient as we work to get everyone the food they need. 

In addition to the food distribution, a SNAP Outreach team member will be available on site.  Anyone interested in registering for SNAP benefits will be able to do so at the event. All they need to bring is a valid photo ID.

If you are interested in bringing a Shared Harvest food distribution to your community, please call or email Dr. Roseanne Scammahorn at 937-548-5215 or Scammahorn.5@osu.edu.
