Starke County residents who’ve signed up for the county’s Food Distribution Program are asked to pick up their vouchers by this Friday at 3:00 p.m. Auditor Rachel Oesterreich says all Starke County residents who signed up online were automatically approved. Her office began handing out the first round of vouchers on Wednesday.

Residents who’ve signed up will be able to pick up a second round of vouchers from Wednesday, August 18 at 8:00 a.m. to Friday, August 20 at 3:00 p.m. That second voucher can be used until the end of the month.

The Starke County Food Distribution Program is funded with $150,000 the county got from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs COVID-19 Response Program. The Auditor’s Office is located in Starke County Annex Building No. 1 at 53 East Mound Street in Knox. For more information, call 574-772-9101.
