Drive-Thru Food Distribution Events Scheduled in Livingston County

Next Round of Drive-Thru Food Distribution Events Scheduled
for April 29 and May 2 in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

Geneseo, NY, April 21, 2020 — Two drive-thru food distribution events will be held April 29, 2020 and May 2, 2020 in Livingston County to assist households in need of food support during this public health emergency. Registration is on a first come, first served basis for Livingston County residents only.

Livingston County has once again partnered with Foodlink to supply each of the registered households with a box of non-perishable, emergency food items in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

Angela Ellis, Deputy County Administrator, stated, “The first round of food distribution was well-received by the community. We were able to safely and efficiently provide food support to a significant number of households during this time of need.” Ellis continued, “Thank you to our friends at Foodlink, the local school districts, county staff, and many dedicated volunteers for making this next round possible.”

Both events will involve no-touch distribution. Proper social distancing will be maintained at all times in order to protect the health and safety of registrants and volunteers.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! Registration for Livingston County residents is now open and will close once capacity is reached. **Only one registrant per household is allowed**
