DeKalb County Community Gardens announced Grow Mobile events for Saturday, offering food assistance to DeKalb County residents.
One event is slated to run from 9:30 a.m. until 11 at Clinton Rosette Middle School, 650 N. First St., or until all the goods have been distributed. It will be a drive-thru, according to a news release, and individuals should have their cars ready to receive pre-packed boxes. They are to remain in their cars, and trunks and back of cars should be ready to receive the boxes from volunteers.
If you wish to participate, you only need to supply name, zip code and number of individuals in your household.
More than expected showed up for DCCG’s food distribution events last week in Sandwich, the release stated, forcing the group to turn cars away, however, those who didn’t receive meal boxes will get one later this week.
The group had prepared 75 boxes for distribution in Sandwich, up from the normal 45-55. More than 110 cars or households showed up and those who did receive any are expected to get deliveries later in the week.
