We have distributions every other month.  \nStarting in January we will have distribution the last week of the month\, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am-11:30 am & 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. There will be 4 spaces in the front of the building that will be marked for neighbors to park. You will have to come inside and we will scan your bar code. Once we do that we will have you go back to your car and we will bring your USDA food to your car and load it.  \nWe will do this as a trial run for a while to see if it will work out. This will give everyone time to be able to get their stuff throughout the week instead of one specific day and time.  \nThe River Valley Regional Food Bank is an equal opportunity provider. \n

SUMMARY:USDA Commodities Distribution
DESCRIPTION:March USDA Distribution \n\n\nWe’re excited to share an important update about our March USDA distribution on March 20th\, 2026! To better serve our community and make the experience more comfortable for everyone\, we’re changing the way distribution will be done.\n\n\nStarting in March\, we will no longer use a drive-up or walk-up system. Instead\, we are moving to an appointment-based system. You do not have to make an appointment prior to the distribution. It will be very similar to a deli market where you will take a number and wait to be called back to get your commodities. This change helps ensure that families don’t have to wait outside in extreme cold or heat and can receive their food more efficiently and respectfully.\n\n\n March 20\, 2026\, appointment times will run from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM\n\n\n How the new appointment system will work:\n Our neighbors will come into the CSCDC Lobby area\n Our neighbors will take a number and have a seat in the waiting area\n RVRFB will call your number to come into the Food Bank Lobby area\n The USDA Barcode will be scanned\, and the ID will be checked\n Food Bank will bring food to the lobby for you to load\n\n\nOur goal is to continue serving our neighbors with dignity\, care\, and compassion—while also improving the overall experience for everyone involved.\n\n\n Please read the steps carefully before March 20th\, and keep an eye on our page for any updates or reminders.\n\n\nUSDA is an equal opportunity provider\, employer\, and lender
