County to Double Food Distribution Sites with Six New Locations This Winter

Safety Net Bridge program will add distribution points in areas identified through data analysis as having greatest need.

The county's food assistance initiative is set to grow significantly this winter as officials prepare to open six additional distribution centers, effectively doubling the current number of sites available to residents.

The expansion of the Safety Net Bridge Food Distribution program will bring essential food resources to neighborhoods throughout the region that have been identified as having elevated need levels based on data analysis.

Officials selected the new locations by examining zip code-level statistics to determine where food assistance would have the greatest impact on vulnerable populations. The additions represent a substantial scaling up of services designed to help residents access necessary nutrition support.
