The Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program, known as commodities, served over 442 tons of food to the 14 county area covered by UCHRA in the 2009-2010 fiscal year. The need will be even greater this year as those who have become unemployed will be seeking relief.
If you think you or someone you know qualifies for the commodities program, please contact the UCHRA office in your county for more information.
Everyone must present a valid UCHRA commodity card in order to receive commodities. Persons may receive commodities for a total of three (3) households if valid cards are presented at the distribution. The U.S.D.A.'s Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program is available to all eligible recipients regardless of race, color, national origin, age, sex or handicap.
