REGION On Friday, March 12, Tuesday, March 16, and Friday, March 26, Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County (HCC) will distribute food boxes containing fresh produce, meat, dairy products, and a gallon of milk to families throughout Franklin County through the Farmers to Families Food Box program.
Farmers to Families is a government sponsored program in which the USDA awards vendors to procure, pack, and deliver combination food boxes to non-profits in states across the country. The opportunity benefits farmers, growers and consumers who have all been impacted financially by COVID-19.
