Local Commodities
Distribution Slated
For June 18-19
The Brunswick County Volunteer
& Information Center will conduct
its second-quarter distribution of
U.S. Department of Agriculture
commodities June 18 and 19 at the
Democratic Headquarters in Supply.
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.
