Posted

GOUVERNEUR — There will be a free drivethrough food distribution on Tuesday, May 11 starting at 5 p.m. at Gouverneur Elementary School, 111 Gleason St.

All drivers and passengers must remain in their vehicles and will be prompted to open their trunk to receive food products. If cars do not have a trunk, they will be prompted to open their window. Walk-ups will not be permitted.

Members of the public should not line up before 4:15 p.m.

New York’s dairy farmers, through American Dairy Association North East (ADANE), are working with USDA-approved vendor Food Bank of Central New York, along with other community organization recipients, to distribute food and dairy products at a local drive-thru event. There will be nearly 600 food boxes, each containing one gallon of milk, along with an assortment of dairy, produce, and meat. Each vehicle will receive one box, while supplies last.

The Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (C.F.A.P.) government-funded grants are making it possible for community organizations to provide free food to those in need.
