The Pine Bluff-Jefferson County Economic Opportunities Commission will hand out commodity foods starting at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the Pine Bluff Convention Center.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture foods will be distributed while supplies last.
Applicants must meet income eligibility, which may be determined by being on the SNAP/food stamp program or meeting requirements on the federal income guidelines. For example, in a household of one, the monthly countable income limit is $1,179. For each additional person in the household, add $414.
To receive food, the applicant should bring a picture ID of the person requesting food and Social Security numbers and dates of birth for all household members. If the person is picking up for someone else, they must bring a note from that person with the Social Security number and name of the person picking food up. Failure to provide verification requested may result in delay or denial of assistance.
