Citrus County Support Services announces the next Commodity Food Distribution will be from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 14 at both distribution centers: the Citrus County Auditorium, 3610 S U.S. 41 (the fairgrounds), Inverness and the West Citrus Community Center, 8940 W Veterans Drive, Homosassa.
Both centers will be open until 1 p.m. unless all commodities are given out before that time.
Individuals must present a picture identification each time they receive commodities. Under the new congressional bill, eligible individuals cannot send written permission, which allows others to pick up their allotment without first signing that individual up.
Eligibility will be based on total household income not in excess of State established maximum percentage of the poverty line for the appropriate household size.
Acceptance and participation in the program are the same for everyone without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex or handicap. Everyone must bring proof of their total income for everyone in the household.
Family and Children Services' clients receiving AFDC, Medicaid, Food Stamps or SSI must bring their letter of decision (Medicaid and food stamp cards are not acceptable documentation). All those on Social Security must bring their letter or bank statement (if their check is automatically deposited in the bank.) Only one allotment per household. Please bring boxes to carry food home.
Do not contact the distribution centers, if you have a question please call Support Services at 527-5410.
