This Week’s Essex County Food Distribution to be in Montclair – TAPinto.net
ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — Essex County will host its weekly Emergency Food Distribution Event on Thursday, October 8th at the Charles H. Bullock School in Montclair to help families negatively impacted by the Coronavirus. The 1,000 boxes of food that will be distributed are meant to benefit families who have been affected by the pandemic and are not able to afford food. Residents will receive one box of non-perishable food items.
It will be held as follows:
Date: Thursday, October 8, 2020
Time: 9 a.m.
Place: Charles H. Bullock School, 55 Washington Street Montclair, NJ
It will be held RAIN or SHINE.
Residents driving to the site should line up along Elm Street and Orange Road before turning right onto Washington Street. Left turns from Elm Street onto Washington Street will not be allowed. Residents driving to the site should stay in their vehicles with their windows rolled up and open their trunk when they reach the distribution site.
Residents walking to the site should come to a walk-up location on Washington Street. Residents walking to the site must wear a face mask/covering and follow social distancing guidelines. It is recommended that residents walking to the site bring a cart; the boxes weigh about 40 pounds.
Residents who are driving or walking are asked not arrive to the site until 8 a.m. This is being done to allow for normal traffic flow through the area and prevent any traffic back-ups from occurring.
The box of non-perishable items contains enough food to provide about 40 meals. They consist of a variety of non-perishable food such as oatmeal, rice, fruit, peanut butter, jelly, shelf stable milk and canned vegetables, chili, soup and ravioli. Items may vary based upon their availability. Volunteers will place one emergency food box into each vehicle or to each walk up.
