Hunger Fighters food distribution on July 16

The next Crawford County Hunger Fighters food distribution is planned for Tuesday, July 16, at the United Presbyterian Church, 205 North 24th Street in Denison. The drive-through pickup will be from 2:30 to 5 p.m.

New TEFAP forms for the upcoming year will need to be completed starting this month. Families in need of food assistance will verify their income level eligibility with this form which is completed once every year. Forms may be picked up in advance in the bench in front of the Presbyterian Church or filled out the day of the distribution.

Proxy consent forms used for picking up another person’s food will not need to be renewed unless there are changes. People are asked to abide by the policy of one allotment of food per household. 

Monetary donations made to Crawford County Hunger Fighters may be dropped off at V & H Tire, The Hoffman Agency, or Our Savior Lutheran Church. 

Those who would like to volunteer on July 16 should call the Presbyterian Church office at 712-263-4130.
