Atchison County Community Services, Inc., in partnership with Second Harvest, will be holding food drops on the third Tuesday of each month, weather permitting, in Tarkio. The food drops will begin Tuesday, December 15.

These food drops will run the same as they have, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon (or until supplies last). This means lining up on 3rd Street (starting at the intersection of 3rd and Main) and then turning onto Main Street and pulling up to volunteers at 4th and Main Street who will put the food in your vehicle. Please be respectful and don’t cut in line. Each car will be allowed to collect food for two families.

This is for all Atchison County residents and there are no income guidelines. If you are a shut-in and need food, please contact Atchison County Community Services Director Sam O’Riley no later than Monday before each food drop.  This takes a lot of helping hands so if you are able to help volunteer and can lift food please contact Sam at 660-736-4646.
