Johnson County, KS trials Curbside Food Drive to address food insecurity during outbreak

Johnson County, KS Curbside Food Drive Trial

In Progress

The county's Department of Health and Environment coordinates with volunteers in 75 neighborhoods on the program. Every neighborhood has a county contact person who arranges a local donation point. Participating volunteers gather at least 100 non-perishable food and hygiene products before arranging pickup. Curbside Food Drive supports three county-run food banks with the potential for extension beyond the outbreak.
