Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh says the food box distributions are going so well, Anita Town and Country will hold another USDA Farmers to Families Food Box distribution one week from this Saturday. The event takes place March 27th at the Anita Community Center (805 Main Street), from 10:30 – 11:30 AM, or until supplies are gone. All you have to do is to pull-up in your vehicle, stay in your car, and open the trunk. The food boxes will be placed inside.

Anyone is welcome to visit the drive-through food box pick-up, and no documentation or proof of need is required. Boxes will be given away at no cost. People from surrounding towns and communities are welcome. The USDA Farmers to Families Food Boxes are likely to contain fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and meat.
