A Hardin County food distribution event takes place from 1 to 3 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 25, at the Dial-Roberson Stadium on the ONU campus, according to Jason Aldrich.
Enter on Klingler Road. To received food persons must be 18 or older, have a valid photo ID and proof of residency, be at or below 230 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and sign and eligibility to take food home form.
In July, the Ada visit resulted in the distribution of 35,900 pounds of food passed to 133 families.
Members of the Ohio National Guard loaded vehicles with food during the two-hour period. Their volunteer efforts are part of their mission assisting food banks across Ohio.
West Ohio Food Bank, based at 1366 E. Kibby St., Lima, serves an 11-county area.
Previous Hardin County food distributions took place at the Hardin County fairgrounds. Aldrich said that the bank’s monthly distributions moves from community to community in its service area and chose Ada as this month’s distribution location for the county.
The county’s distribution is sponsored by the food bank and United Way of Hardin County.
