The Somerset County Mobile Food Bank has made special arrangements to have its monthly deliveries to still be made during the coronavirus pandemic.

The food items will be pre-packaged eliminating the need for patrons to bring their own containers. The items will be given to people via a drive-thru format.

People who are temporarily without work and are in need of food are welcome. If you are not feeling well, the food bank encourages you to ask someone else to go to the food bank stop for you.

Members of qualified households can receive food once this month at one of the following locations March 24-26:

• Tuesday: 11 to 11:30 a.m. at the Shade-Central City park along Chestnut Street; 12:30 to 1 p.m. at the Berlin Brethren Church, 620 Main St.; 1:45 to 2:30 p.m. at the Meyersdale Community Building.
• Wednesday: 12:45 to 1:15 p.m. at 231 Center St., Boswell; 2 to 2:30 p.m. at St. Anne Catholic Church, just off the Davidsville exit of Route 219; 3:30 to 4 p.m. at the Windber Calvary United Methodist Church, 1800 Stockholm Ave.
• Thursday: 12:30 to 1 p.m. at 600 W. Main St., Rockwood; 2 to 2:30 p.m. at the Confluence Borough Building; 5 to 6 p.m. in the Somerset Area School District swimming pool parking lot. Do not arrive before 4 p.m. at the Somerset location.
• Volunteers are needed at all distribution sites and to help load and unload the truck. Volunteers should arrive at the distribution site 20 minutes early.

All jobs are outside. For more information and updates including qualifications to receive food, visit www.scmfb.org or email mobilefoodbank@verizon.net.

"Homebound Program"

The SCMFB doesn’t make home deliveries. However, we do offer a program for churches and organizations that would like to deliver boxes of food to disabled or elderly individuals in their area. The program serves those that have great difficulty picking up their own food.

Able bodied card holders and households with able bodied family members must pick up their food at one of our nine distribution sites.

Groups interested in becoming volunteers for the Homebound Program should send an email or call 
Julie Stanton at 814-483-0126 for more information. Each group needs a minimum of two responsible individuals of record. Additional volunteers are strongly recommended to fill in or help deliver the boxes.
