“Tens of thousands of Union County households have benefitted from our food distribution programs over the past two and a half years, and we continue to offer this emergency service to help alleviate food insecurity during the holiday season,” said Union County Commissioner Chair Rebecca Williams.

“These food distributions are a continuous lifeline for many who are still struggling financially, and they also help strengthen our entire community by helping to ensure that everyone feels included in the seasonal festivities, especially households with children and seniors,” said Commissioner Sergio Granados who also serves as Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Board. “We thank Village Super Market, Gargiulo Produce and all volunteers for their continued collaboration.”
