Food Programs
The Town of Mansfield works in collaboration with other faith based as well as non profit organizations to assist individuals and families who have food insecurities.
UPDATE - We will be following a Grab-n-Go process for this distribution.
The Grab-n-Go distribution system will work as follows:
At arrival each Mobile guest can receive a number from the front office window. Please wait by your vehicle for your number to be called. Please practice Social Distancing away from other Mobile guests. There is NO need for a line to form.
Mobile Foodshare guests will then be called to approach the tables ONE AT A TIME, grab a bag from each table (one from the left of the truck and one from the right). NO guests will be circling the truck or directly picking up food.
All bags are the same and no there will be no exchange of any items.
