Dublin Unified To Give Out Free Grocery Boxes All Month

DUBLIN, CA — Dublin residents can pick up free grocery boxes each Wednesday this month.

The Dublin Unified School District is participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farmers to Families program, which connects food distributors who have lost business amid the closure of restaurants, hotels and more with food banks, nonprofits, and community- and faith-based organizations that serve the community, according to the USDA website.

The program began in response to the coronavirus pandemic and has delivered more than 140 million food boxes so far.

Dublin residents can pick up their boxes March 10, 17, 24 and 31 at:

• Dublin Elementary School (7997 Vomac Road)
• Dublin High School (8151 Village Parkway)
• Fallon Middle School (3601 Kohnen Way)

Boxes will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
