Food Bank plans distributions

Food Bank of Northern Indiana has announced it will continue mobile food distributions in Jluy.

Assorted food items are offered free of charge on a first-come-first-served basis while supplies last for those in need of assistance. One box/bag per household is allowed.

These are drive-thru distributions. Participants are asked to remain in their vehicle and open their trunk to receive items. An area in the lot will be available to load items if the trunk does not open.
