Starke County residents who missed the first round of the county’s Food Distribution Program have another chance to sign up for the food vouchers. Auditor Rachel Oesterreich says the program will take new applicants until this Friday at 3:00 p.m.
Applicants are asked to call the Starke County Auditor’s Office at 574-772-9101. The online application form remains closed.
Those who are already signed up can pick up their second voucher August 18 through 20 at the Auditor’s Office. A third round of vouchers will be available September 15 through 17.
The Starke County Food Distribution Program provides $100 food vouchers that can be used at Five Star or Save-A-Lot in Knox or Grand Central Grocery in North Judson. It’s funded with $150,000 the county got from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs COVID-19 Response Program.
Oesterreich says more than 675 residents have signed up for the food vouchers so far.
