Update (July 1): RCPS produce and milk giveaway drive-through for Rockdale families, July-August 2020
Beginning Tuesday, July 7, 2020, Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) will be distributing free boxes of produce and gallons of milk to Rockdale County residents through the USDA Farmers to Families Program. RCPS will distribute at the Rockdale Career Academy, 1064 Culpepper Dr., each Tuesday in July and August beginning at 4 p.m. This is a drive-through event and cars should enter from Culpepper Dr. off Parker Rd.
“We are thrilled to be able to assist those in need through this great program,” says RCPS Superintendent Dr. Terry Oatts. “Our School Nutrition Department has served over 450,000 meals since March and continues to serve meals to all children under 18 years of age throughout the summer. This is just another example of their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure no one goes hungry in Rockdale County. We certainly appreciate the assistance of the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office in facilitating this free food distribution.”
As part of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced in April that USDA is exercising authority under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act to purchase and distribute agricultural products to those in need.
