Friends In Service Helping, or FISH, is distributing free USDA Commodity Foods to Carson City families 9-11 a.m. Friday, May 20 at the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William St. No one will be admitted before 9 a.m.
Families must sign an issuance sheet at the Community Center certifying their household’s annual income doesn’t exceed federal poverty guidelines — which are monthly gross income of $1,471.25 for a single and $1,991.25 for a couple. For each additional member, add $520. Anyone declaring overly large families will be asked for proof of family members.
Proof of Carson City residency and a photo identification or driver’s license is required. Food may be picked up for those unable to attend by bringing a signed note from them and their photo identification.
This month’s foods include: canned peaches, mixed fruit, green beans, sliced potatoes, walnuts, macaroni, cranberry juice and frozen chicken leg quarters.
