On the second Tuesday of each month, from 1:00 pm-2:00 pm, the first FARM drive through food event will be held in Student Lot A at Mineral Area College. Patrons are asked to enter the main campus from Flat River Road and turn left into Student Lot A, proceed through the food distribution area and exit the campus at Flat River Road. To avoid traffic issues, please do not use the Hwy O entrance to arrive or depart from this event. 

This event is set up as a drive-through distribution and volunteers and/or staff of Mineral Area College will put food directly into your car. We ask that you have space in your vehicle for the food items and that you do not leave your vehicle during the distribution.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the event. The distribution will end at the stated time, or one call food and other resources have been distributed.
