Shared Harvest Food Distributions - New Location and time

GREENVILLE, OH -- Shared Harvest Foodbank, in partnership with OSU Extension, Darke County, Radiant Lighthouse, and Darke County United Way, will be distributing food boxes at Radiant Lighthouse, Wednesday, November 30th from 3:00-5:00 PM.  

Shared Harvest is preparing boxes to be distributed to Darke County residents for this hands-free food distribution. A family receiving food will need to bring photo id and a piece of mail and will provide verbal self-attestation for income (household eligibility guidelines are listed below). 

All Darke County residents in need of food assistance are welcome to attend this event and receive food. Anyone picking up food should drive to the distribution site during the appropriate hours.  We ask, 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.  Please be patient as we work to get everyone the food they need. 

The event is hosted by Ohio State Extension, Darke County, United Way of Darke County, and Radiant Lighthouse. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Roseanne Scammahorn at 937-548-5215 or Scammahorn.5@osu.edu.
