There have been many changes in our lives the last few months, and we thank you for your patience while we determine what our new normal looks like at commodity food distributions. We want to share a few important updates with you: Robocalls—starting in July, robocalls will originate from a new phone number: 989-386-6849. If you return a call to this line, you will reach a recorded message that provides distribution dates for the current month. Read more in this month's edition of Tidbits.
