OSU Extension
Shared Harvest Food Distribution
ANSONIA, OH -- Shared Harvest Foodbank, in partnership with OSU
Extension, Darke County, and Darke County United Way, will host their
fifth “drive-thru” food distribution at Ansonia Local Schools,
Wednesday, September 16th from 4:30-6:30 PM. With school back in
session, we ask participants to line up after 3:30 p.m. This will give
enough time to allow students to get on their buses or picked up safely
from school.
Shared Harvest is preparing 600 boxes to be distributed to Darke County
residents for this hands-free food distribution. A family receiving
food will provide verbal self-attestation for income, residency, and
identity (household eligibility guidelines are listed below) while the
COVID-19 emergency is ongoing. Individuals with transportation issues
or health concerns may send a representative to pick up on their
behalf. This individual must be able to attest to the household income
level and give the name, street address and ages of those in the
household they are picking up for.
All Darke County residents in need of food are welcome to attend this
event and receive food. Anyone picking up food should drive to the
distribution site during the appropriate hours. We ask, people
receiving food need to stay in their vehicles for the registration
process and place their car in "Park" while their food is being
loaded. With the addition of onsite registration, lines will take
a little bit longer. This information will be used to help determine
where families in Darke County are residing so we can bring Shared
Harvest closer to those communities in the future. Please be
patient as we work to get everyone the food they need.
In addition to the food distribution, a SNAP Outreach team member will
be available on site. Anyone interested in registering for SNAP
benefits will be able to do so at the event. All they need to bring is
a valid photo ID.
The event is hosted by Ohio State Extension, Darke County, United Way
of Darke County, and Ansonia Local Schools. If you have any questions,
please reach out to Dr. Roseanne Scammahorn at 937-548-5215 or
Scammahorn.5@osu.edu.
