The site will be open 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on Friday, June 18. On Saturday, it will reopen at 8:30 a.m. and remain open until the food sup ply is exhausted. Commodities allocated to VIC in clude butter, flour, cornmcal, apple sauce, peanut butter, green beans, canned meat, orange juice, raisins and rice. "The commodities program is in tended only as a quarterly supple ment to other available services within the county," said Angic Fisher, VIC executive assistant. "We are unable to order specific amounts of food because USDA divides the available food supply between all counties. "There arc no guarantees that there will be enough of the above mentioned foods to supply everyone eligible for the program. The food is distributed on a first-come, first served basis, and once all the foods are given out, there will be no more available until the next quarter." To qualify, all food stamp house holds must bring their white com modity authorization card and their green ID card. The while cards should be delivered by mail by the fifth day of the month. A household is considered a food stamp house hold if it received food stamps dur ing May 1993. Food slamp recipients who are home-bound or cannot get to the dis tribution site may designate some one else to pick up their commodi ties. To do this, the person whose name is printed on the face of the card must turn the card over and sign his or her name above the gray box on the back of the card. They must then put the name of the per son they wish to pick up their com modities on one of the two lines to the left of their signature. For households who do not re ceive food stamps, the person repre senting the family must appear in person at the distribution site. The following information will be re quired: applicant's name, current Brunswick County address. Social Security number, number of people in the household, and income of all those in the household. The form containing this informa tion must then be signed by the ap plicant attesting its truthfulness, and that no one else from the household is applying for commodities during this distribution. Everyone receiving commodities must bring his or her own box or container. For more information, call Angela Fisher at 754-4766.
