Once per month, in August, September, & October CARE purchases fresh fruits and vegetables from Second Harvest Heartland and pays for delivery to the CARE office where it is distributed with the help of Duelm Lions Club members who have taken this on as a service project. Distribution takes place on the second Monday of the months of August, September, and October at 11:00 am in the parking lot at the CARE office.
Participants are not required to pre-register, but must be willing to sign in and provide the number of individuals per household. CARE office staff is not notified in advance of the day what types of fruits and vegetables will be delivered.
CARE volunteers are available to help with carrying bags or boxes of produce to your car, and senior residents may call our office in advance to schedule in-home delivery with one of our volunteers on that same day.
CARE is proud to be the Benton County distribution site for NAPS. This program is based on household size and income and is for seniors ages 60 and older who qualify. The required, quick and easy one-time registration process may be completed by calling the CARE office and providing the senior’s full name, date of birth, and gross monthly income. Once registered, there is no waiting period. Distribution takes place on the second Monday of every month from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the CARE office, located at 321 6th Avenue in Foley. Seniors may call our office in advance to schedule in-home delivery with one of our volunteers on that same day.
