There will be refrigerator trucks of FREE fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy. All boxes are prepackaged and distributed at Vineyard Church. Boxes can be picked up by anyone who needs food. The Farmers to Families program is food purchased by the government from farmers who would need to dump the product otherwise. This program is not limited to residents of Kansas City, Missouri or Clay County. This is for any communities in the surrounding areas as well. Items may also be picked up for neighbors. Product can be picked up by trucks and taken back to churches and food pantries in surrounding communities for distribution. Vineyard Church is the sponsoring entity.
